49ers' Brock Purdy Makes NFL History Breaking Lamar Jackson's Passing Record

Brock Purdy's hyper-efficient start to his NFL career has earned him a spot in the history books on Monday.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has now surpassed 1,500 pass attempts in his career, meaning he now qualifies for a handful of all-time rankings. He's now No. 1 all time in passer rating (105.4), adjusted yards per attempt (8.7) and adjusted net yards per attempt (7.9), among other statistics.

Lamar Jackson previously held the passer rating record at 102.7, but it now belongs to Purdy. Some other notable quarterbacks just below him include Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

It's fair to say that most didn't expect Purdy to have this kind of career when he was drafted with the 262nd overall pick in 2022, but he's quickly established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league year in and year out.

He had an MVP-caliber campaign in just his second NFL season and led the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance that year. This year, he has San Francisco off to a 5-0 start, and the 49ers appear capable of winning it all.

Of course, Purdy has had plenty of help along the way, from coordinators and coaches to talented players like George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, but his stats are a testament to how well he's played over his first few years.

Purdy, still just 26, could end up being one of the best quarterbacks of his generation, but he's still chasing his first Super Bowl, an MVP and other accolades.

For now, he remains one of the most effecient quarterbacks the league has ever seen.
