San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is still making quite an impact in the state of Iowa despite being three years removed from his playing days for the Cyclones. Purdy and the Niners will play in one of three games that will air on Fox during the later slate of games at 1 p.

Purdy still hasn't entirely shaken the "system" quarterback label and other denigrations. A chance for his rebuttal is now here, and if you've been listening, he's been preparing for it for a long time.

The 49ers QB became a better vocal leader this offseason. How will that help him overcome injuries to Deebo Samuel Sr. and Christian McCaffrey?
