San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is relatively experienced for a rookie, with nearly four full seasons as the Iowa State starter under his belt. But what he doesn’t have as an Arizona native \u2014 and what he didn’t get in his time in Ames \u2014 is reps in the rain.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, Saturday’s wild card game against the Seattle Seahawks could be one of the first times in Purdy’s career that the former Cyclone will be dealing with real rain. The “potent” storm forecast to hit Santa Clara on Saturday afternoon is likely to produce “moderate to heavy rain” and “potential for flooding,” an NWS meteorologist told SFGATE.<\/p>\n

When Purdy was at Iowa State, he played in just three games where there was rain at the time of kickoff. In two of them \u2014 a 72-20 laugher in 2019 against Louisiana-Monroe and a 2021 game against West Virginia \u2014 there wasn’t a lot of rain to speak of. The 2019 game, for example, had a “light mist throughout,” according to an Iowa State athletic department spokesperson.<\/p>\n

There is one game, however, that was notably rainy during Purdy’s tenure at Iowa State. It was a rescheduled game in November 2018 against Drake University, a small FCS program in nearby Des Moines.<\/p>\n
