Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 263,771 views on Sunday, 23 January 2022 our article of the day is Jimmy Garoppolo.
James Richard Garoppolo (born November 2, 1991), nicknamed Jimmy G, is an American football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Eastern Illinois, setting the school records for career passing yards and touchdowns and winning the Walter Payton Award as a senior. Garoppolo was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, where he spent four seasons as Tom Brady's backup and was on two Super Bowl-winning teams.
Traded to the 49ers near the end of the 2017 season, Garoppolo helped revitalize a 1–10 team by winning the five remaining games of the year. In 2019, he guided the 49ers to their first National Football Conference (NFC) top seed since 1997 and an appearance in Super Bowl LIV. His San Francisco tenure has also been afflicted by injuries, however, which caused him to miss most of the 2018 and 2020 seasons.
