49ers star Brock Purdy plays the hometown hero at a women’s football game in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO – Wednesday night during Super Bowl week marked a showcase of local talent.

The Toyota Glow-Up Classic, a glow-in-the-dark flag football game featuring Bay Area high school girls, was held on the same field where the Pro Bowl was played inside San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, a fan favorite, served as coach during the game.

“It was awesome to have the ability to coach some high school girls and watch them compete and for Toyota to put on such a cool event. I thought it was amazing,” Purdy told News Digital after the game.

“That’s where the Pro Bowl was played. So to be able to go out and those girls were having fun, scoring touchdowns and jumping like a tundra. It was a fun night.”

Eli Manning and Kylie Kelce served as referees, and despite their best efforts, it wasn’t perfect, according to Purdy.

“They did a great job. I mean, Eli threw a couple flags and I was like, ‘Dude, let’s go.’ Like we had a great play. Eli threw a flag and called again. So I wish I had a challenge flag so I could throw it, but he did a good job,” Purdy joked.

Their division rival, Puka Nacua, was also a coach, but Purdy said the two were able to put aside their differences for at least a couple of hours.

“We were just chilling. I mean, we both had a good time,” Purdy said. “Puka is a competitor. I love his game and everything, but to be able to go out and coach some girls and have fun with it. It was really sweet.”
