Brock Purdy is a starting quarterback on a team with a 4-0 record and has yet to lose a regular-season game as a starter since he was thrust into the spotlight in the middle of last season. But he still isn’t living on his own, nor has he replaced his old car.
The San Francisco 49ers star is making an NFL minimum of $870,000 a year, which does not match his output in the slightest but is still very generous for someone who entered the league as the very last pick.
Of course, he’s making a lot more money than the average 23-year-old. Still, it hardly means he’s one to splurge and, in an interview on TODAY, revealed he is roommates with one of his offensive linemen and drives a Toyota Sequoia.
“So he and I are still splitting rent,” he said. “I still drive my Toyota Sequoia.”
Purdy’s salary definitely shouldn’t be able to hold him back when it comes to striking out on his own or getting a luxurious, new whip. He’s just being smart.
There’s also the fact that San Francisco has the third-highest cost of living among all cities in the United States.
