Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers (2022)
In the 2022 NFL season, Purdy had a golden opportunity to become the first rookie quarterback to lead a team to Super Bowl glory. The last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, however, got hurt in the NFC championship game and the 49ers lost 31-7 to the Eagles.
Mark Sanchez, New York Jets (2009)
Sanchez hit on just over 60% of his passes for 539 yards, four touchdowns and a pair of picks while starting three playoff games in 2009. The Jets rode Rex Ryanâs dominant defense and a ground attack that led the NFL in yards per game to the conference championship.
