Brock Purdy kisses Jenna before Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs on February 11, 2024.

San Francisco 49ers backup tight end Mason Pline totally just leaked some big news for Brock Purdy and his wife Jenna.

In an interview with 49ers insider and radio host Larry Krueger on his YouTube channel, the second-year tight end Pline, who was a practice squad player most of last season, let it slip that Purdy has been busy with a baby on the way this offseason.

“He’s got a baby on the way, so I’m sure that’s on the back burner,” Pline said when Krueger asked if Purdy would get him a Toyota. Purdy has an advertising deal with Toyota and has been able to gift his teammates Toyota trucks for free in the past.

49ers fans, just like his teammates, are overjoyed to see their franchise quarterback become a father sometime in the next few months. They’re excited to find out the sex of the baby, when it is due, and all the other details that come with a developing pregnancy.

And Mason Pline is going to find himself responsible for the biggest headline of his young NFL career after this news spreads around the internet. Brock and Jenna haven’t yet announced or confirmed the news themselves, so the 2024 undrafted free-agent tight end signing out of Furman  is the first person NFL fans are hearing this news from.

In a way, Pline gets to be a cool part of the birth of their first child forever.
