Brock Purdy is making sure his offensive line shines just as bright off the field as they do on it.
In a move that shows both gratitude and style, the 49ers quarterback gifted each of his offensive linemen a custom Rolex watch for Christmas. These aren’t just any Rolexes, either. Each timepiece comes engraved with the player’s jersey number, San Francisco’s signature “Bang Bang” motto, and Purdy’s No. 13 - a personal touch from the QB to the guys who keep him upright every Sunday.
The gesture, shared by center Matt Hennessey on Instagram, is a classy nod to the bond between a quarterback and his line - a relationship built on trust, timing, and a whole lot of protection. And with the 49ers sitting comfortably in a playoff spot, it’s clear that protection has paid off.
This is Purdy’s first season under his massive five-year, $265 million contract extension signed back in May, but his generosity isn’t new. Last Christmas, before he inked the deal, Purdy stunned his linemen with a fleet of 10 brand new vehicles - five Toyota Tacomas and five Toyota Sequoias - as a thank-you for keeping him clean in the pocket.
That kind of appreciation goes a long way in a locker room, especially one with Super Bowl aspirations. Purdy knows he can’t do it alone, and he’s making sure the big men up front know just how much he values their work. The Rolexes are flashy, sure - but the message behind them is even louder: this is a team built on mutual respect and shared goals.
As the postseason looms, the 49ers’ offensive line will be doing what they’ve done all season - keeping their quarterback safe and the offense rolling. And thanks to Purdy, they’ll be doing it with some serious wristwear to match their on-field dominance.
