Here are some of the highlights from those former Iowa State players on the gridiron around the NFL this past week:

Brock Purdy, Quarterback, San Francisco 49ers

Brock Purdy, the starting quarterback for the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers, led his team to a 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Purdy completed 25 of 36 for 353 yards with touchdowns to Ricky Pearsall and George Kittle. He also ran for 17 yards and directed the game-winning drive that resulted in a 44-yard Jake Moody field goal.

Purdy showed off his athleticism and skill yet again with a spectacular scramble and perfect pass to former Iowa star George Kittle in the back of the end zone:
