LAS VEGAS (AP) — Brock Purdy went overtime on Super Bowl opening night. The San Francisco 49ers’ second-year quarterback began by saying he’s ready to spoil Taylor Swift’s trip to Las Vegas and finished by remaining at the microphone to answer questions for several minutes after Monday’s media extravaganza concluded. Purdy gave thoughtful answers, posed for pictures and even signed an autograph while taking questions for about 65 minutes. He said “yes” when asked if he was willing to disappoint Swift, the pop superstar and the girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Purdy also said he couldn’t name the 16 quarterbacks picked ahead of him in the 2022 draft.
