They're able to teach their offense at a really high level and they're able to help players understand the why behind everything. In the two seasons since he left San Francisco, Darnold has thrown for 8,367 yards and 60 touchdowns."
"He was also complimentary of Purdy in his development in the last two years. Brock's been amazing. I can't speak highly enough of him, just with what he taught me, Darnold said. I learned so much from him, with his study habits and what he did on the field. Brock's been great to learn from over that year when I was with him in San Francisco."
