"And so, year after year, for me, blindside as a quarterback, right-handed quarterback, knowing that my left side is good, I can’t even describe to you," Purdy said, via "Bussin' with the Boys." "It’s like a sense of freedom."

Purdy also touched on Williams' longevity as he gears up for his 15th NFL season.

"We always ask ourselves every year when he comes back, we’re like, 'Is Trent gonna be the same? Is this still the Trent Williams?'" Purdy said. "Dude, year after year, he’s the same guy. For me to be a quarterback in the NFL and have that guy blocking for me, dude, it doesn’t get any better. He’s like my little safety blanket."

Williams, who is set to turn 37 before training camp, is entering the second season of a three-year $82.6 million deal.

Brock Purdy makes feelings known on Deebo Samuel's departure

During his appearance on "Bussin' with the Boys," Brock Purdy discussed Deebo Samuel's exit from San Francisco. The 49ers moved the Pro Bowl wideout to the Washington Commanders in a trade in April, leading up to the NFL draft.

"It sucks, dude," Purdy said on Tuesday. "He's my boy. I love Deebo. Day 1, he's always had my back and believed in me when I got in. I didn't really know how the guys were going to take it when I did get thrown in, and Deebo was nothing but great to me, building me up. He's my brother."

Purdy is set to enter the 2025 season with Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall split out wide, with All-Pro tight end George Kittle lining up inside. San Francisco will look for a quick turnaround despite moving Samuel, who earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2021.
