Purdy and Kittle’s Unmatched Connection | San Francisco 49ers News

Claire Kittle dropped major praise for Brock Purdy, calling him the best QB her husband has ever played with—and the numbers back it up. The Purdy-Kittle duo leads all QB-TE pairings in EPA per play (0.750) and ranks fourth overall, outperforming most wide receiver duos despite heavy usage. Kittle, who’s seen six different QBs since joining the 49ers in 2017, finally found stability with Purdy, who’s targeted him nearly 300 times since 2022 for over 3K yards and 26 TDs. They’re one of only two QB-TE combos in the top 15 all-time for EPA per play with 75+ targets. But with Kittle recovering from an Achilles tear, his Week 1 availability against the Rams remains uncertain—fans are counting down to see this unstoppable connection back on the field.
