Super Bowl 2024 Player Props: Should We Expect Brock Purdy to Get Creative in the Super Bowl?
Overall, Brock Purdy had a great season and nearly won MVP if it wasn’t for a very poor performance against the ravens late in the regular season where he threw four interceptions, and ended up losing to the Baltimore Ravens by double digits.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
While that poor performance likely cost him a most valuable player award, that is the last thing on his mind at the moment as he finds himself in the Super Bowl in just his second season in the NFL and his first season as a full-time starter. The San Francisco 49ers barely squeaked by the Packers as Green Bay missed a critical field goal in the fourth quarter, which likely gave San Francisco the momentum they needed to come back and then followed that performance up by erasing a 17 point halftime deficit against Detroit to eventually win another close game by a score of 34 to 31.
In that game, Purdy showcased his athleticism with multiple scrambles for first downs, which were critical in multiple San Francisco scoring drives. His athleticism also allowed him to escape multiple key sacks, which could have killed drives for the 49ers, and potentially could have allowed the lions to escape with a win.
Purdy has gotten a lot of flak in his time as the San Francisco signal caller as many people call him a game manager, or just an average quarterback in a phenomenal system, but he has some thing that Jimmy Garoppolo never had, which is above average to elite athleticism. Purdy is much faster than he appears, and has the ability to run when needed to pick up key yards or avoid key sacks. His speed and scrambling ability will be huge in this game against the Kansas City chiefs defensive line, spearheaded by all pro Chris Jones.
Kansas City does not blitz a ton as they tend to trust their elite secondary, but I do think Jones will be able to get pressure up the middle, which could create rushing lanes on the outside for George Karlaftis and others. if that does occur, I fully expect Purdy to scramble multiple times in this game, and in the open field he is capable of picking up chunk yardage as we saw against Detroit.
In my opinion, his rushing prop for the Super Bowl is way too low as he picked up 14 rushing yards against the Packers and over 40 rushing yards against the Lions as he had many key scrambles of over eight yards. With that being said, I am rolling with Brock Purdy Over 11.5 Rushing Yards at -120 for 1.5U as my most confident NFL prop for this year’s Super Bowl as I expect Purdy to once again break off a few scrambles of at least 10+ yards.
