Jimmy Garoppolo on taking QB reins: 'You have to make it your own'

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Six things we learned from New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's interview on sports radio WEEI’s “Dennis and Callahan Show with Minihane” on Monday morning:

Not trying to be Tom Brady before games. Garoppolo said he’s learned things from Brady about how to approach things before a game, calling Brady a tremendous quarterback while lauding his longevity. But Garoppolo said the key is to not try to be someone else. “Each quarterback kind of has a different style of how they lead, how they approach everything, and me and Tom are real similar in ways but different in ways, too," Garoppolo said.
