San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will likely always be a go-to candidate for NFL Films to mic-up on any given Sunday. But during the Niners' commanding 30-13 Week 4 win over the New England Patriots, quarterback Brock Purdy proved that he's no slouch either when given the microphone, taking his ever-expanding acting chops to the football field.
In two separate moments, one that took place in the huddle no less, Purdy had some pretty hilarious exchanges with his 49ers teammates.
Naturally, Kittle was prominently in the mix during one of them, requesting an Applebee's discount code since Purdy has been featured in the restaurant chain's latest campaign, along with Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
"I mean, I saw your Applebee's commercial," Kittle said. "You're an actor ... can I get a discount code?"

Purdy replying to the "actor" comment with what sounded like a conversation-stopping "yeah" pretty much paints the distinct contrasting styles between the two players, especially during a football game. Kittle is the seasoned veteran here but you would never know it based on the clip.
It's just a shame the footage cuts right after the question, not allowing us to see if Purdy actually granted his reliable tight end with that always elusive Applebee's discount code.
Fortunately for all of us, though, the video cuts to Purdy having an exchange with one of his offensive linemen that led to this gem from the thriving third-year quarterback:
"You guys want some Toyota Camrys? I got you."
Purdy offering up a car like a Toyota Camry—a very good and reliable automobile—was the perfect choice considering he was speaking to a bunch of multi-millionaires while being fully aware he's making less money this season than even the likes of Chargers backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke.
But let's give the guy some credit. Purdy is out there making the most of his endorsements and, whether intentional or not, manages to come off pretty funny in some of the bits he's done.
Look no further than his recent Toyota Tacoma "National Taco Day" promo that showcased the truck's extra space by way of, well, tacos.

No matter what Purdy chooses to do next, there's a healthy chance that "Brocko Taco" will not be topped any time soon.
