San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy gave generously this Christmas.

He partnered with Toyota to provide gifts and vehicles to military veterans and families with children battling pediatric illnesses, Crosswalk Headline reported.

“We appreciate every single one of you guys sitting here and for what you guys have done and what you guys stand for, and we look up to you just for your fight and your courage — we appreciate all of you guys,” Purdy, who calls himself a “follower of Jesus” in his Instagram bio, said to the families in a video shared on X.

“We just wanted to help you all out as best we could,” the quarterback added.

One veteran, who had completed three tours, couldn’t believe Purdy’s generosity.

“I didn’t know what to expect, and then the surprises just kept on going and going,” the veteran said.

Toyota even made accommodations for families who needed their vehicles to be wheelchair accessible.

“Thank you for giving us encouragement and motivation to keep going in life,” Pudy told one child.

This past Sunday night, Purdy led his team to a 42-38 win over the Chicago Bears. He and the 49ers are hoping to finish as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Per Fox News Digital, Purdy ended the night “24-of-33 passing for 303 yards and three touchdowns with one interception, while rushing for 28 yards and his two touchdowns.”

This is the best the NFL has seen him play.

“It’s his best [football] right now,” teammate Colton McKivitz said. “And it’s when his best is needed. This is what this team needs is this offense to come in and score and score a lot…The way he’s playing, it’s awesome. To have a leader like that go and command the huddle and playing at that level, it’s a great confidence builder for us.”

One of the biggest attributes to Purdy’s game is his ability to dodge defenders out of the pocket and still make incredible throws. He did just that when he threw a touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk.

“It’s just one of those things where it’s football, and it’s going to happen,” Purdy said after the game. “How can I be smart outside of the design of the play but also have my eyes downfield because guys are moving and working, and there are explosive plays out there. I feel like it’s something that I sort of continue to learn as I go. It’s part of my game.”

It’s wonderful to see Purdy use his God-given platform to help others.
