About Jimmy Garoppolo

Garoppolo first entered the league as a second round draft pick by the New England Patriots in 2014. After three years in New England, the quarterback was traded to the San Francisco 49ers. During his time with the Patriots, New England won a pair of Super Bowls with Garoppolo backing up Tom Brady.

The quarterback then spent the next six years with the Niners. In 2023, he signed with the Raiders as a free agent.

In 81 games played in the NFL, Garoppolo has thrown for 15,494 yards, 94 touchdowns, and 51 interceptions with a completion rate of 67.4 percent.

Last season, Matthew Stafford and the Rams posted a 10-7 record and reached the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs.

Garoppolo will miss the first couple of games of the 2024 season after getting suspended for violating the NFL’s PED policy.
