Jimmy Garoppolo, a quarterback with the National Football League's Las Vegas Raiders, was born on November 2, 1991. A better player who once took the San Francisco 49ers to the championship game and gave them new life. But injuries have prevented him from attaining his full potential. Jimmy has largely been absent during the NFL seasons of 2018, 2020, and 2022.
The New England Patriots selected Jimmy with the 62nd overall choice of the 2014 NFL draft. Prior to signing with the 49ers, he signed a four-year contract with the Patriots. Jimmy won the Super Bowl in 2015 while serving as Tom Brady's backup quarterback.
Which teams has Jimmy Garoppolo played for?
Back when the New England Patriots were running high on the Tom Brady fumes, Jimmy served as the back-up quarterback for the Patriots. Under Tom’s leadership, New England were the team to beat and many thought that Jimmy would be the natural successor to the throne.
Well that never happened and Jimmy was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a second round pick. In the middle Tom Brady was apparently a little bitter when the head coach wanted to try and start Garoppolo as the quarterback instead of Brady. Tom Brady was ultimately suspended by the league for four games for Deflategate. After the 2016 NFL season Jimmy was traded to the San Francisco 49ers.
Jimmy went on to have some stellar performances during the times he played but Jimmy just could not stay healthy. He missed a lot of games during the 2018, 2020, and 2022 season. In 2023, Garoppolo signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. However, he has not played a game yet.
