Brock Purdy drops hilarious metaphor to describe Trent Williams protecting him originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The $265 million man “needs his binky.”

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy joined “Bussin With The Boys” on Monday and touched on what it’s like to have offensive tackle Trent Williams covering his blind side.

“He’s my little safety blanket,” Purdy explained. “I’m like, ‘I need my binky and I need him to be in the game.’ “

An ankle injury limited Williams to playing in only 10 games last season, seven fewer than Purdy would’ve liked.

“Last year he got hurt at the end … it’s just different,” Purdy said.

The Iowa State product wasn’t knocking the rest of San Francisco’s offensive line. Williams just is on another level.

“Having Trent in, as a Hall of Famer,” Purdy said. “You watch his run game and the moves that he makes, and you’re like, ‘What the heck?’ “

Going back to his days in Washington, the 14-year NFL veteran consistently has shown his ability to protect the quarterback.

“He does this ninja move thing, and then pushes guys in the ground, and then, outside of that, just pass and stuff, he’s locked down over there,” Purdy said. “And so, year after year, for me, blindside as a quarterback, right-handed quarterback, knowing that my left side is good, I can’t even describe to you. It’s like a sense of freedom.”

Purdy’s “binky” is turning 37 this month, so a new pacifier will need to emerge on the offensive line sooner rather than later.

Brock Purdy's 49ers loyalty tested while answering great hypothetical question originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Win one Super Bowl with the 49ers or three with the Seattle Seahawks?

That is the question Will Compton asked 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy when he joined the most recent episode of “Bussin’ With The Boys.”

But the star 49ers quarterback would not be pulled to the dark side.

“No, I’m going Niners, bro,” Purdy said after Compton asked the question.

Taylor Lewan and Compton continued to test Purdy’s loyalty as they followed up and challenged his answer but the 25-year-old continued to shoot them down.

“Really, dude, shut up,” Purdy said while laughing. “Don’t try to get me, dude. No, we’re not doing that. Bang bang, all the way.”

The “Boys” tried but Purdy — with his new $265 million contract — is loyal to the soil. And luckily for 49ers fans, he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
