That includes everything “from the way that you think, to treating others, your spouse, doing things that are tough,” Purdy continued. “But because you have submitted to Jesus and he’s Lord of your life—he’s your Savior but he’s your Lord—it just changes everything about everything, about how you love and how you lay down your life for others.”
Despite the letdowns of last season, Purdy said he’s determined to “stay anchored and rooted in [God’s] promises.” On a March episode of the “Sports Spectrum” podcast, the QB referenced Galatians 2:20, saying:
I’ve given my life to Jesus. My old life—my passions, desires of wanting this or that, especially in the football world as a quarterback and thinking about the future—that’s been crucified with Christ and what he did for me and with me on the cross. Now I have this freedom to go and live changed and free through Jesus.

Purdy became a new dad just days after teammate Christian McCaffrey welcomed his first baby, daughter Colette Annalise. McCaffrey, who’s also outspoken about his faith in Jesus, married wife Olivia Culpo, a former Miss Universe, last June.
Earlier this summer, former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow welcomed daughter Daphne Reign with wife Demi-Leigh, also a former Miss Universe.
