The 49ers All-Pro linebacker joined the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday to discuss multiple Niners’ related topics
On Wednesday, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. He discussed several topics, one of which was the Kansas City Chiefs.
“It’s honestly his mind. I don’t know what he thinks about. I don’t know how he approaches the game. But the savvy that he plays with is unlike any other tight end. When you go and watch a tight end all week long and preparing for a guy, you’re like, ‘OK, he’s going to run a corner route, or he’s going to run an in route.
With Travis, he might have a corner route on, but he’ll run a post. Or he’ll just find some space and sit down. So, you think you got him in coverage, and he just works away from you, and he catches the ball. He’s a hooper.”
Warner, maybe not so jokingly, finished up by saying, “Hopefully, it’s his last season. He retires and goes off into the sunset, and we ain’t gotta deal with him no more.”
Warner also spoke about Brock Purdy:
Anybody who listens to me knows that I love Brock Purdy. I love everything about him. The way he’s made up, the player that he is, and his story. That’s my thing. How can you hate a guy when he has a story that he’s had and the success that he’s brought to our team as ‘Mr. Irrelevant,’ the last pick in the draft.
I don’t know of anybody else who’s been the last pick in the draft and has been a starter. Even a starter for a football team, nonetheless, the franchise quarterback. And he took a huge leap this year in leadership, I think, just being in command of not only the offense but the team as well. He’s been awesome. The sky’s the limit for this kid. I can just go on all day with him.”
The 49ers didn’t have the season they wanted from a win/loss perspective, but Purdy finding his voice as a leader shouldn’t go unnoticed.
