Jimmy Garoppolo spent a good chunk of his career with Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots before moving to The Bay. The AFC East big boys drafted the young quarterback prospect in the 2nd round of the 2014 NFL Draft (62nd overall).
Jimmy G played backup to the legendary Tom Brady during his stay in New England, winning 2 Super Bowls.
He started just 2 games for the Patriots before moving to the San Francisco 49ers in 2017. However, Garoppolo has dealt with his fair share of injury struggles during his time in the NFL.

“I mean, he went to the Super Bowl. So that speaks volume of what he can bring to the table if he’s on a good football team,” Van Noy said on the show.
Garoppolo featured in just 6 games last season, throwing for 1,096 with 7 passing TDs against 5 interceptions. He will need to step up his game if he wants to remain in the long-term plans of coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch.
