Brock Purdy has someone to come home to after his games — a roommate!

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently revealed that, despite his ascendant on-the-field success, he keeps things humble at home.

“So I still have a roommate, one of the offensive lineman here,” Purdy, 23,told theTodayshow. “So he and I are, you know, still splitting rent.”

The former Mr. Irrelevant added, “I still drive my Toyota Sequoia. And other than that, it’s pretty simple.”

For Purdy — who makes $870,000 a year while living in the country’sthird-most expensive city—  the streamlined life is seemingly working.

The Iowa State standout is 9-0 in career games that he’s finished with the NFC team, despite a pro career that had the most innocuous start.

Purdy was drafted No. 262 and last in the 2022 NFL Draft, earning him the moniker Mr. Irrelevant.

But after former 49ers quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance suffered injuries last year, Purdy’s number was called, and he’s never looked back.

As for his home life,the recently engagedplay caller has capitalized on his connection with teammate Nick Zakelj.

The offensive lineman and Rose played together in youth leagues in Brecksville, Ohio, per the outlet.

“There’s a small-world aspect of it all,” Zakelj told NBC Sports Bay Area.

He added, “That’s how we got that connection. And the friendship took off from there.”
