San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy had a few tricks up his sleeve on Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks ― in one play. (Watch the video below.)

Making his second career start, Purdy pump-faked twice with conviction to fool the Seahawks, and threw to a wide-open George Kittle. The tight end sprinted in for the 28-yard touchdown to stake the visitors to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. San Francisco went on to a 21-13 victory and clinched the NFC West title.

“Tell me this guy doesn’t look like he’s in his seventh year in the league,” Amazon Prime broadcaster Al Michaels said.

Purdy, dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant” because he was chosen last in this year’s NFL Draft, is quickly becoming essential to the 49ers.

On Sunday in his first NFL start, he dispatched Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Thursday, he threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns despite not practicing passing this week due to a rib injury, ESPN noted.

Purdy was known for his pump fakes in his playing days at Iowa State University, too. But now he’s slaying NFL teams with them.

Yell all you want, kid.
