Brock Purdy is entering his fourth season in the NFL.
He's three months younger than Louisville's Tyler Shough, who will be a part of next week's NFL Draft.
Shough turns 26 in September, the oldest QB expected to be picked in the 2025 draft.
Purdy will celebrate his 26th birthday at the end of December.
What's the point of all this? It's to say that Purdy and Shough once attended the same prom, literally.
Here they are, close to a decade ago.

Purdy and Shough are both in the news of late for different reasons.
The 49ers QB is involved in extension talks that don't seem to have gotten anywhere yet.
Shough seems to be a fast-rising draft prospect, although his age might give some teams pause.
They attended rival high schools in Arizona, so their connection goes back a long way.
Shough almost certainly won't be a 49ers draft pick, so these two prom rivals could face off once again down the line in the NFL.
