Brock Purdy, known as 'Mr. Irrelevant' after being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has risen to prominence following a five-year, $265 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers. His unexpected success has overshadowed the struggles of other quarterbacks from his draft class, making it potentially one of the weakest in NFL history.

Only Kenny Pickett, drafted 20th overall, remains in the limelight, now with the Cleveland Browns following stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles. Desmond Ridder, the third-round pick, has transitioned from the Atlanta Falcons to the Las Vegas Raiders after losing his starting role. Malik Willis and Matt Corral have faced their own challenges, with Willis backing up in Green Bay, while Corral is now with the Birmingham Stallions.
