It’s crazy,” said Talen Frazier, 15, a freshman running back from Purdy’s alma mater, Perry High, in the neighboring town of Gilbert.When it comes to Queen Creek – or the “QC” — Purdy is not literally putting it on the map. Business, or, at least housing, has been booming in this suburb 30 minutes southeast of Phoenix in the Sonoran Desert.Visitors to Brock Purdy’s home town of Queen Creek, Ariz. are greeted with many signs of the growing town, but little indication that’s where the 49ers star quarterback grew up.
