There are local angles to every big game in the sports landscape, but this year might be the most representation the Dakotas and surrounding areas have had in the big game.
There's a lot to like these days about 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy.
Last season, he was one of the best stories in the history of the league, the last pick in the draft that took his team to the NFC Title Game.
It's just about draft week and talks across the league are heating up for tradeable players, and one Minnesota native may have a new team sooner rather than later.
The story authored by San Francisco 49ers rookie QB Brock Purdy last season won't soon be forgotten. Unfortunately, the tremendous story had a tough end, as the QB was sidelined in the NFC Title game with an elbow injury.
