Gotta be the QBs, right? Purdy, as an NFL draft LAST pick in 2022, vs Stafford, an overall FIRST pick in 2009, is the first meeting of a Mr Irrelevant vs a #1 pick. That will happen a few more times if Purdy remains the 49ers starter but I believe this is a first.
I'm surprised it didn't happen last year but a quick look at last year's schedule seems to show otherwise. For instance, Kyler Murray (#1 pick in 2018) didn't start in the Arizona/SF meeting on Jan 8, 2023.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

Aside from the Niners wearing their home jerseys and having significantly more fans attending the game?
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

You are correct! First time a #1 pick has started against Mr. Irrelevant.
There's only been six other QBs even selected as Mr. Irrelevant, and four of them never played an NFL snap. Chad Kelly (Jim Kelly's nephew) took a knee on his single snap in the NFL. No other Mr. Irrelevant other than Purdy have even played.
1) George Haffner, (Colts, 1965)
2) Randy Essington (Raiders, 1984)
3) Larry Wanke (Giants, 1991)
4) Ronnie McAda (Packers, 1999)
5) Chandler Harnish (Colts, 2012)
6) Chad Kelly (Broncos, 2017)

the first three are a lot more irrevelant, 1984 and 1991 drafts had 12 rounds, 1965 had 20 rounds in each of the NFL and AFL drafts

Bailey is in the mix to win a Gold Glove this year. If so, he would become only the third NL rookie to win the award. Who are the other two?

Oops, I should have written “third NL rookie catcher”. Yes, Donovan did win a GG but not as a catcher.
