Brock Purdy's Sackless Start Fueled by Elite Protection

Despite facing pressure on just 22% of his dropbacks—a league-low—Purdy's MVP-caliber season is defined by his historic sackless start. His average time-to-throw of 2.91 seconds ranks fifth in the NFL, while his pressure rate three seconds into dropbacks sits at 15.8%, significantly below the league average of 33.2%.

The 49ers' signal caller has handled the minimal pressure he's faced with aplomb, completing four passes when encountering quick pressure. With just nine quick pressures through the first month, Purdy is essentially playing 7-on-7 football, contributing to his outstanding statistical production that has him firmly back in the MVP conversation. raccoongame.org
