Brock Purdy has another believer. 

Recently, the Sacramento Bee spoke to Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS' lead analyst, to talk about Purdy. And in short, Romo loves the guy. 

“If this guy works hard, his ceiling is pretty high,” Romo said.

Romo believes that if Purdy comes back healthy, he should have a productive second season as the 49ers' starting quarterback. 

“I know the timing of where things are supposed to be and what you’re looking at, and when you’re throwing the ball,” Romo said. “A tenth of a second feels like a minute to me when I’m watching. … These little tenths of seconds are the difference and people either have spacial awareness — some people call it instincts. I call it the ability to use leverage against the opposing player. And then obviously your ability to react and use spatial awareness within that.

“And he has that. I saw it right away.”

Purdy is expected to make a full return. And the quarterback could be back as soon as Week 1 of the NFL season. Team head coach Kyle Shanahan hinted that Purdy may be healthy for a few practices in August. But that is still speculation. 

“That was an injury that you don’t know how it heals,” Romo said. “But obviously he has a great will and work ethic, and I think you’ll see that show in his rehab. What he did last year was phenomenal. I always root for kids like that, and I think that he’ll come back fine. I think it’ll take time.

“I think the expectations for anybody with that (type of injury) need to be lowered early on, but long term he’ll be just fine. He’ll have a great career.”

High praise from someone who has quarterbacked at the highest level. If Romo is a believer, Purdy could have all the validation he needs.
