"I Still Need Some More Classes": Brock Purdy Delves Into His Evolution as an Actor During Offseason

Brock Purdy has brought new hope to the San Francisco 49ers since being dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant” in the 2022 NFL draft. Since becoming the starter, he’s led them to two NFC Championships and a Super Bowl. Perhaps it’s this popularity that has fans seeing him everywhere, even in 1941!

A video has surfaced on social media of another Purdy’s dead ringer. MLFootball recently shared a clip on social media from a 1941 bodybuilding contest where contestants are entering the stage one by one, flexing their muscles for the crowd.

 

Surprisingly, one of those contestants bears an uncanny resemblance to San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy. The doppelgänger is seen proudly flexing his chest, sporting a smile that could easily pass for Purdy’s twin. Sharing the video on the X platform, the page humorously captioned it as “#49ers QB Brock Purdy was a BODYBUILDER in 1941.”

Football fans quickly noticed the resemblance and flooded the post with hilarious tweets. Some were amazed at how similar they looked, while the abundance of Purdy clones puzzled others.

People flooded the comments section, noting her resemblance to Purdy. Now, Annah too has soared to fame, thanks to the 49ers QB, boasting over 700k Instagram followers and counting. It’s clear that the fascination with finding lookalikes of Brock Purdy knows no bounds. From bodybuilders to teenage tennis players, the search for his doubles continues to captivate fans.
