Fred Warner Responds to Practice Trash Talk From Brock Purdy
San Francisco 49ers practice has featured some trash talk between veteran linebacker Fred Warner and quarterback Brock Purdy.
During San Francisco 49ers training camp practice, veteran linebacker Fred Warner and starting quarterback Brock Purdy engaged in some playful trash talk. When questioned about this banter on Tuesday, Warner expressed his deep affection for Purdy, stating, "I love Brock with all my heart... The competitor that he is. The confidence that he exudes now to send it back to me — as long as I’m a far enough distance away and I can’t retaliate. No, I’m just kidding."
Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak also endorsed the friendly competition between the two leaders. "He’s competitive. It’s respect with his teammates, that they can do that and shake hands after," Kubiak noted on a weekend. Both players are expected to maintain this level of respect and competitiveness as they line up against each other in the 49ers' Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10.
