There are athletes with celebrity doppelgangers. Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff bears a resemblance to actor Ryan Gossling. Former Tremendous Bowl-winning signal-caller Nick Foles kinda looks like Napolean Dynamite star Jon Heder.
However with regards to Brock Purdy, some people on social media are evaluating him appearance-wise to Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated former President John F. Kennedy.
And through media availability earlier than Tremendous Bowl LVIII, a reporter requested the San Francisco 49ers QB about his supposed lookalike.
“Have you ever ever heard that earlier than?” the reporter requested.
“I haven’t that’s my first time listening to it,” Purdy replied.
When requested his ideas, he paused and replied, “Yeah, I don’t know.”
In case you slept by way of your historical past lessons, Oswald shot and killed JFK on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas, and the assassination spawned conspiracy theories and films.
The comparability was first made on X/Twitter by a consumer named Josh Chavis.
“Holy s—t. Been attempting to determine who Brock Purdy appears like for the final 2 years and it’s Lee Harvey Oswald,” Chavin tweeted.
Purdy is in his second yr with the San Francisco 49ers. He was famously the final participant chosen within the 2022 NFL Draft — Mr. Irrevelant.
This season, Purdy guided the Niners to a 12-5 file. He threw for 4,280 yards — a new franchise record — 31 TDs, and 11 INTs whereas main the league in QBR (72.7). Purdy is an MVP finalist.
San Francisco virtually went into this season with Tom Brady on the helm, if it might persuade the seven-time Tremendous Bowl winner to unretire once more.
