49ers QB Brock Purdy had plenty to say about former Vols QB Josh Dobbs after preseason win against Saints

San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy liked what he saw from his teammate, quarterback Josh Dobbs, on Sunday evening against the New Orleans Saints.

Dobbs, a former Tennessee Vols standout who signed with San Francisco earlier this offseason, passed for 133 yards in the 49ers' 16-10 win against the Saints. He also rushed for 25 yards and a touchdown (San Francisco's only touchdown of the game).

After the game, Purdy described Dobbs as a "baller" and "electric".

"He's a baller, man," said Purdy of Dobbs. "He makes plays, goes through his reads and brings energy. He's out there making plays and guys feed off it. That's football. It's not always going to be pretty, you drop back and everything is going to be perfect. You're going to have to make plays off-schedule and bring some juice to the team. And guys feed off that. So, [I] love having him in the room. And like I said, he's pretty electric."

Dobbs is currently battling veteran Brandon Allen for the 49ers' No. 2 quarterback job.

Allen completed 7-of-10 passes for 36 yards against the Saints.
