Brock Purdy is an MVP candidate but if he had a vote, it would be for someone else.
The 49ers quarterback believes his teammate, running back Christian McCaffrey should take home the MVP honors.
“I think Christian should be MVP,” Purdy said after the 49ers’ win over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. “I really do believe that. He does everything for us. Runs the ball well, catches the ball, he does everything. In my eyes, that’s the MVP.”
McCaffrey is having a monster season, rushing for 1,292 yards and 13 touchdowns along with 509 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
On Sunday, McCaffrey picked up 115 rushing yards and a touchdown as well as 72 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in the air. The win gave the 49ers a second-straight NFC West crown.
Purdy is certainly having an MVP-worthy season. He’s thrown for 3,795 yards and 29 touchdowns. He had 242 yards and four touchdowns in the win on Sunday.
Regardless of who takes home the MVP, Purdy and McCaffrey have led the 49ers to a great season. The win on Sunday marked the sixth straight win for San Francisco and the 49ers are looking to keep the hot streak going into the final stretch of the season.
