49ers’ Warner hilariously downplays Purdy’s offseason bulk originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Brock Purdy might look like he bulked over the offseason to everyone but Fred Warner.
Not lacking any muscle himself, the 49ers All-Pro linebacker downplayed Purdys physical appearance in front of reporters after San Franciscos second day of training camp in Santa Clara.
Ehh …, Warner quipped when asked if he noticed Purdy had bulked up since the Super Bowl.

Im just kidding,” Warner said. “I dont know. Yeah. Sure.
Unlike George Kittle, who used a fun Pokémon analogy to describe Purdys recent physique evolution, Warner managed to, in good-natured banter, take a small dig at his signal-caller’s build.
However, the star linebacker did take advantage of his time on the podium to express his excitement about finally seeing Purdy head into the preseason healthy.
Hes looking like a third-year veteran, Warner added. Hes carrying himself with that confidence.
Im super excited for Brock. Obviously, having the full offseason to get better, and being the guy, he knows that. So, Im super excited for Brock.
Of course, Purdy will never come close to looking like Warner not that the Faithful would want that but a full, healthy offseason calls for gains.
And it appears, approved by Warner or not, that Purdy did just that.
