Jimmy was also the first player from the Football Championship Subdivision to get drafted.

Patriots of New England

On Monday Night Football in 2014, Jimmy made his regular-season professional debut against the Kansas City Chiefs.

During his time with the Patriots, Jimmy filled in for Tom Brady during the 2016 season.

When Brady was suspended from the games, Bill Belichick named Garoppolo as the starting quarterback. For the 2017 season, Jimmy was linked to the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns in numerous trade rumors.

49ers of San Francisco

On October 31, 2017, the Patriots traded Jimmy to the San Francisco 49ers after his final season with the team.

Similarly, he made his NFL debut in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. After the Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears, he became the starter.

He played against the Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, and many other teams during his time.

Jimmy also became the only player after Ben Roethlisberger to have a perfect 7-0 record in his first seven starts.

Jimmy was later given a five-year contract worth $137.5 million on February 8, 2018.

He also received $90 million in guarantees as part of the arrangement. Overall, it was the highest annual deal in NFL history.

Jimmy was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week in 2019 and finished second in the NFL Comeback Player of the Year voting behind Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Due to his recurring injuries that kept him away after the season, 2020 was primarily a disaster.

Injury

On September 18, 2016, Garoppolo struggled with a sprained AC joint after Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso.

Thus, he was sidelined for the next two games. Following it on September 23, 2018, Jimmy sustained an ACL tear in his left knee, which ended the season for him.

After the injury, he only returned for the 49ers’ season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The same knee injury returned later in the 2019 season, which hampered his later games. One of his recent injuries is the pedal ankle injury that he strained on September 20, 2020.

As he sustained the injury during the match against the New York Jets, he missed the next two games against the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles.

Again, during the Week 8 match against the Seattle Seahawks, he left in the 4th quarter.

However, Jimmy was again put on the injured list because he re-aggravated his high ankle sprain. Overall, he missed the whole season.

Will Jimmy appear in a match against the Packers?

With the NFL Division around the corner, the football fans are keeping tabs on their favorite player just as much as the other teams.

The 49ers’ star quarterback, Garoppolo is no exception to such attention.

However, it seems the 30-year-old player won’t be participating in the Sunday match against the Packers; or at least that’s brewing in the media.

The news came after Fox Sports 1’s Jason McIntyre addressed the rumor that Garoppolo, apparently, injured his hand and shoulder.

Moreover, he noted that the quarterback has both a torn ligament and a bone chip, requiring surgery on his hand. Plus he injured his shoulder in the second quarter against the Dallas Cowboys.

No matter what the speculation is, we are sure to find out the truth on Sunday’s match.

Personal Life & Girlfriend

Jimmy Garoppolo is currently single; however, he has been previously linked to two women to date.

Initially, he was dating Alexandra King in 2017 during his tenure with the New England Patriots.

King is an Instagram model and an influencer.

Apparently, the words about their relationship spread out when King tagged Garoppolo as her ‘valentine’ in February 2018 on her Instagram account.

As a matter of fact, they have been spotted together in Disneyland and even shopping together.

However, they later broke up in July of 2018, when the media caught him having dinner with the adult film star, Kiara Mia.

Although the wedding and breakup were never official, King’s Instagram story says it all.

Following it, Jimmy was linked with Mia in mid-2018.

However, both parties denied the allegations laid upon them.
