🏈 Graded 2022 Panini Donruss Brock Purdy #374 Rookie RC Football Card PSA 10 Gem Mint — San Francisco 49ers — Mr. Irrelevant, 2022 NFL Draft — Iowa State University — Super Bowl LVIII — PSA 10 Gem Mint

🏈 This is a 2022 Panini Donruss Brock Purdy #374 Rookie Card, graded PSA 10 Gem Mint — the highest grade in the PSA system, awarded exclusively to cards showing four perfectly sharp corners, flawless surface, correct centering, and pristine intact gloss. Card #374 in the base Donruss set is the rookie card that collector communities identified as the beginning of one of the most improbable quarterback stories in the history of the NFL Draft — the last pick, the 262nd selection in the entire 2022 draft, who stepped into a starting role for the San Francisco 49ers and led them to a Super Bowl. The Brock Purdy story is the most remarkable rags-to-relevance arc in recent professional football history, and his 2022 Donruss RC is the card that documents it from the beginning. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Queen Creek, Arizona — Where a Quarterback's Story Began

🌟 Brock Purdy was born on December 27, 2000, in Queen Creek, Arizona — a growing community southeast of Phoenix where the Friday night football culture that runs through the Southwest Arizona high school landscape shaped a quarterback whose mental composure and decision-making under pressure would eventually define how he was evaluated at every level above it. He played at Perry High School in Gilbert, Arizona, attracting enough recruiting attention to earn a scholarship to Iowa State University — not a Power Four blue-blood program, but a Big 12 Conference school whose football program had been transformed by head coach Matt Campbell into a genuine competitive force in one of college football's most competitive leagues. Condition: NOS.

🏆 Iowa State Cyclones — The College Career That Built a Pro Quarterback

🏆 Brock Purdy played four seasons at Iowa State University, becoming one of the program's most celebrated quarterbacks and establishing himself as a legitimate professional prospect through the consistency, accuracy, and competitive football IQ he displayed week after week against Power Five competition. Iowa State's offensive system under Matt Campbell developed the processing speed and situational awareness that NFL teams evaluate as the foundation of quarterback sustainability — the ability to read pre-snap coverage, identify post-snap adjustments, and make decisions at professional speed. Purdy's four Iowa State seasons developed those qualities completely enough that 31 NFL teams passed on him. The 32nd team, San Francisco, took him with the last pick. Condition: NOS.

⭐ Mr. Irrelevant — The Last Pick Who Started a Super Bowl

⭐ Brock Purdy was selected 262nd overall in the 2022 NFL Draft — the very last player chosen in the entire draft, the designation historically honored with the title Mr. Irrelevant and the accompanying Lowsman Trophy. As the last pick in any draft, the statistical expectation is that the player will not make an NFL roster, let alone a 53-man active roster, let alone a starting lineup. Purdy did not simply make the roster. When Trey Lance suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 2 and Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a broken foot in Week 13, Brock Purdy — the last pick in the draft — stepped in as the San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback and proceeded to win games, manage Kyle Shanahan's system with accuracy and intelligence that veterans failed to produce, and lead the team into the NFC playoff bracket as a legitimate starting quarterback for a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Super Bowl LVIII — Leading the 49ers to the Biggest Stage

🌟 Brock Purdy led the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024 — facing the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime and ultimately losing 25-22 in a game that came down to the final possession. Purdy's 2023 regular season before that Super Bowl appearance was one of the most efficient quarterback seasons in 49ers history, producing a Pro Bowl selection and the kind of statistical performance that redefined what the last pick in any NFL Draft was supposed to be capable of achieving. The 2022 Panini Donruss RC documents the moment before any of this was known — the card issued when Purdy was simply the 262nd pick, the last name called on draft night. Condition: NOS.
