Social media has been abuzz with a curious comparison between San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and historical figure Lee Harvey Oswald.
This odd theory resurfaced during Super Bowl LVIII media night, prompting Purdy to address it as his team prepared for the big game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas.
When asked about the internet theory likening him to Oswald, Purdy seemed taken aback but responded with professionalism. “I haven’t,” he said, clearly surprised by the question. “That’s my first time hearing it.”
Pressed further about the physical comparison, Purdy replied with a hesitant, “Uh, yeah, I don’t know,” navigating through what must have been an unusual line of questioning.

Fans rallied behind Purdy, criticizing the reporter for the offbeat query and suggesting that such instances highlight the need for shorter media events during Super Bowl week.
This isn’t the first time Purdy has been confronted with comparisons to famous figures. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh previously remarked on their supposed resemblance, and a high school student gained viral fame for her likeness to the quarterback.
Despite the distractions, Purdy has remained focused on his football career, rising from relative obscurity to become a key player for the 49ers. His journey from “Mr. Irrelevant” to social media sensation underscores his resilience and determination on the field.
