Professional career
Kansas City Chiefs
On April 7, 2009, the Kansas City Chiefs signed Purdum with the intention of having him compete for the starting job of long snapper.[2][3] On August 13, 2009, the Chiefs waived Purdum in favor of Thomas Gafford.[4][5]
New York Jets
On February 5, 2010, the New York Jets signed Purdum to a three-year contract after incumbent long snapper James Dearth, who was an unrestricted free agent at the time, had a few snaps that were "off the mark" in 2009.[6][7] Purdum was recommended to the team by former Chiefs and Jets punter Louie Aguiar.[7]
Personal
Purdum is married to his wife, Kara.[1] He received his master's degree in education from Baker in 2009.[1]
