San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has won every regular season start since taking over last season, including Sunday’s season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Despite Purdy being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk has full confidence in the young signal-caller, saying Tuesday Purdy has "it."

During a radio appearance on KNBR’s "Murph and Mac" show, Aiyuk spoke highly of Purdy’s leadership since he was promoted last season from third-string quarterback to the team’s starter after season-ending injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.

"Purdy, he's done a great job since the moment he came in there and started in his first start," Aiyuk said, adding that the mutual trust between the Niners offensive line and Purdy is "the main thing" playing into their success. 

"I'm enjoying playing with him," Aiyuk added. "He gives us confidence every single week. He gives us a bunch of confidence. So much confidence going into every game that not only are we going to win the game, but you have a chance to have a great game as well. So I'm loving playing with him."
