Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked golf pro in the world, and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy apparently have a lot in common, according to defensive end Nick Bosa.

Speaking with the media after OTAs on Tuesday, Bosa spoke highly of Purdy and his leadership skills, which saw the 49ers make back-to-back appearances in the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl in February.

"I think he’s definitely getting a little more vocal within the building," Bosa said. "I don’t think he’s ever going to change. I don’t think he’s somebody that’s going to change even when he gets paid next year. He’s a man of faith." 

Bosa went on to liken Purdy’s personality to that of two-time majors winner Scottie Scheffler before making the obvious distinction between the two athletes. 

"He kind of reminds me of Scottie Schefler, except he didn’t get arrested."
