The San Francisco 49ers are making the rounds at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, but their focus extends beyond evaluating college talent. General manager John Lynch faces a more pressing challenge: securing Brock Purdy’s future with a contract extension that matches his remarkable rise.

Purdy kept the 49ers injury-plagued offense afloat in 2024, throwing for 3,864 yards and 20 touchdowns over 15 games. His season ended prematurely in Week 17 after he suffered a right elbow contusion with nerve inflammation, but he's expected to be ready to go for the start of the 2025 campaign.
