Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell says he'll be in Las Vegas this weekend to see Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58. Purdy will become the first former Cyclones quarterback to start in the Super Bowl and the first "Mr. Irrelevant" — the nickname given to the last draft pick each year — to quarterback a Super Bowl team.You can watch Super Bowl 58 on ����vlog at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Campbell met with the media Monday to talk about Purdy, who the 49ers picked with the final selection in the 2022 NFL draft. He said he's proud of what he's seen out of his former quarterback, who's been far from irrelevant. "You're just really proud of obviously what he accomplished during his time here," he said, "and to ... watch that just continue to elevate through his professional career so far. "I think it's enjoyable to watch the national narrative on Brock as this has occurred over the course of the last year and a half."WATCH: ISU coach Matt Campbell will be at Super Bowl 58 to root on Brock PurdyCampbell has a 53-48 record in eight seasons at Iowa State. Purdy got the start and the win in well over half of those victories — he had a 30-17 record with the Cyclones — and left with school records in passing yards (12,170), touchdown passes (81), completions (993) and completion percentage (67.7), among other categories.The national narrative Campbell alluded to is that Purdy is just a game manager and system quarterback who finds success through San Francisco’s innovative schemes and the talent around him, not on his own talent and skill. "I'm probably not educated on what the national narrative of game manager actually means, but what I know of Brock Purdy, from the day I met him ... is he's a winner," Campbell said. "The reality of our profession, especially the sport of football and especially at the quarterback position, you either win or you don't and you win in big moments, or you don't."... Every single game that Brock played, he either won the game or gave us every opportunity to win the game because of his performance."He's continued to do the same in the NFL, Campbell said, which is the true measure of a quarterback."When it's all said and done, the great players in that league, that's what they do — they win."WATCH: Campbell recalls moment when he knew Purdy was a special playerAfter injuries to quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance last year, Purdy stepped in as a rookie and won his first seven career starts, including two playoff games. But he suffered a significant elbow injury in the first quarter of San Francisco’s loss at Philadelphia in the NFC championship game last year.He returned from surgery to start the season opener and was outstanding, becoming a finalist for the AP NFL MVP award. He led the NFL with a 113 passer rating and his 9.6 yards per attempt were the most in the NFL for a qualifying QB since Kurt Warner had 9.9 in 2000. Purdy was the first Niners quarterback in more than 20 years to throw for more than 4,000 yards (4,280) or at least 30 touchdown passes (31).Now, on Feb. 11, he has shot at a Super Bowl ring.
