Purdy: 49ers Rookie WR Will Play

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has praised rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, calling him "a baller" who will contribute immediately. Purdy noted Stribling's strong route-running, intelligence, and quick learning of the playbook during OTAs and training camp. truewildgame.online

The 49ers drafted Stribling with their top second-round pick despite some initial criticism of the selection. With the addition of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk to an already crowded receiving corps, Stribling will have to earn playing time, but Purdy's confidence suggests the rookie could break through early.
