Purdy

With the San Francisco 49ers preparing to offer quarterback Brock Purdy a long-term contract, they have let a lot of talent go to free up salary cap space.

“The North Yuba represents a really unique location for us. Between the main stem and its tributaries there is somewhere around 40 to 50 miles of habitat that is ideal for spring-run Chinook salmon for holding, spawning and rearing,” said Colin Purdy, a fisheries environmental program manager for the state.

“This is a habitat that salmon haven’t been into for a long time so we have very little data to understand how salmon will respond,” Purdy said.

Having just celebrated his 25th birthday Saturday, he is the same age or older than some of the NFL’s rising quarterbacks, including Brock Purdy, Jayden Daniels and C.J.

Quarterback Brock Purdy lofted a pass into the end zone, but Williams made an over-the-shoulder grab for the turnover.
