Brock Purdy recalls Steve Young advice ahead of San Francisco 49ers season

As the San Francisco 49ers prepare to begin the 2026-27 NFL season, quarterback Brock Purdy is reflecting on advice provided by Steve Young prior to the team's 2024 Super Bowl appearance. Young, a former 49ers quarterback and three-time Super Bowl winner, told the roster that success is not guaranteed and must be actively pursued. Purdy noted that the message about adapting to imperfect game conditions remains relevant as the team enters a new campaign. The 49ers hold a history of eight Super Bowl appearances, winning their first five before losing their most recent three. The team currently looks to move past previous postseason disappointments as they prepare to open their schedule with a game against the LA Rams in Australia. This preparation occurs amidst logistical challenges involving a time zone transition for the club.
