Postgame Handshake Between Brock Purdy, Breece Hall Goes Viral

The reigning NFC-Champion San Francisco 49ers took down the visiting New York Jets with a 19-32 final score at Levi's Stadium on Sunday night.

Aaron Rodgers and the Jets got off to a hot start, taking a 7-3 lead into the second quarter. But from then on, it was all Brock Purdy and the home-team 49ers. San Francisco outscored New York 13-0 in the second quarter then held onto the lead for the rest of the contest.

This primetime NFL matchup pit two former college teammates against each other. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy and Jets running back Breece Hall were teammates, friends and roommates during their collegiate years with the Iowa State Cyclones.

Purdy and Hall were college teammates for three years in Ames (2019-21). Hall was selected by the Jets with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Purdy — aka Mr. Irrelevant — went to the 49ers at No. 262.

Purdy and Hall met at centerfield for a postgame handshake and jersey swap following Monday night's game.

Their heartwarming postgame interaction is all over social media.

Purdy finished the game with 231 passing yards on 19/29 passing. Hall took 16 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown on the ground, and reeled in five catches for 39 yards through the air.

Purdy and Hall weren't the only former Iowa State Cyclones to put on solid performances. Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard notched six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns.
