San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was the latest signal-caller to present his offensive lineman with gifts for the holidays.
In a video posted by the 49ers on X, Purdy presented his teammates with 10 new Toyota trucks.

It’s an expensive gift from Purdy, as the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft is still on a rookie contract. He’ll receive a base salary of $985,000 for his 2024 campaign, per Spotrac.
After Purdy revealed that he lived with 49ers offensive lineman Nick Zakelj as a roommate and drove a Toyota Sequoia during his rise to stardom in 2023, he agreed to a deal to become one of the car company’s national partners on Feb. 2.
The 24-year-old hasn’t been able to build off his Pro Bowl campaign that ended with a Super Bowl appearance last season, but he’s still shown that he can be efficient when given a clean pocket. In 13 starts this year, Purdy is completing 65 percent of his passes for 3,174 yards and 15 touchdowns to go along with nine interceptions.

He’s also been sacked 26 times.
The 49ers are sitting outside the NFC playoff picture with a record of 6-8 and are close to missing the postseason for the first time since 2020.
While the year hasn’t gone according to plan for San Francisco, Purdy still rewarded his offensive lineman for keeping him upright during the holiday season.
