Brock Purdy relays story on saving reporter from coyote attack

Brock Purdy alerted a reporter walking her dog to a nearby coyote ready to pounce

Brock Purdy never thought being on the set of a commercial shoot would lead to the San Francisco 49ers QB becoming a hero of sorts.

Purdy was on “The Pat McAfee Show” Wednesday and told the story of alerting a news reporter walking her dog that a coyote was on the prowl nearby.

“I can’t believe that was a real thing,” Purdy told McAfee. “She walked by, and sure enough, she says she’s a news anchor, and I’m like, dude, I just saved a news anchor’s life from getting eaten by a coyote. It’s real, man. I. can confirm it…

…”We’re shooting this commercial on a hill on the outside of [San Francisco], and I see this thing trotting by. It had a long tail. I’m like, ‘Bro, that looks like a mini wolf.’ Sure enough, nobody was going to scream, and I was, like, alright. So, I screamed, ‘Yo, there’s a coyote.’ And that thing went running off. Could have been an ugly day on the shoot, but we saved her.”

Purdy had a sense of humor in the ad. One of his offensive linemen could be the Chief Tractor Officer given the way they clear paths for Christian McCaffrey.
