Sometimes a bond between two players becomes so strong that it goes beyond the field. One such bond has been created between the two San Francisco 49ers players. Fullback Kyle Juszczyk and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. 

Juszczyk wanted to take an opportunity to talk about the quarterback for a moment. Jimmy G will be departing from the 49ers soon. The linebacker wanted to thank Garoppolo for everything. On Friday, before the 49ers departed for their Sunday’s first-round NFC playoff game, Juszczyk spoke his heart out for Garoppolo.

Kyle Juszczyk praising Jimmy Garoppolo

There was a possibility that the 49ers would not make it to the playoffs. On top of that, they have also decided to trade to No. 3 in the 2021 NFL Draft. It means Jimmy Garoppolo would be their QB for a limited amount of time. Before the 49ers and Jimmy G parted ways, Juszczyk did not want to leave anything unsaid.

“I’d been thinking about it all week, and I didn’t know when was the right time to say something to him,” said linebacker Kyle Juszczyk for Garoppolo. “He’s been my quarterback for five years. And I just wanted to let him know that I appreciated him, and all the ups and downs that we’ve had. He’s been such a pro and such a friend and a great teammate through the whole thing.”
