Talk about adding insult to injury — 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was forced to rep his college rival after Iowa State lost to George Kittle‘s Iowa last weekend … showing up to his media availability decked out in a Hawkeyes mascot head!!
The pair of Niners teammates placed a friendly wager when their alma maters faced off Saturday against each other … and, unfortunately for Purdy, the Cyclones lost, 20-13.
Purdy — who went to Iowa State for four seasons — held up his end of the deal at Thursday’s press conference … rocking a big Herky the Hawk head as he took the stage.
The whole room thought it was amusing … and Kittle thanked Hawkeyes staffers for getting the mascot head to SF.
“Go hawks @HawkeyeFootball @brockpurdy13,” the tight end said on X. “Shoutout @TylerBarnesIOWA for getting this herky out to cali!”
Kittle also joined in on the fun … throwing on his former mascot’s head as well.
Purdy isn’t the only NFL QB taking Ls by placing bets on his former college team — Aaron Rodgers had to wear Auburn gear after Cal lost to teammate C.J. Uzomah‘s Tigers.
