Las Vegas will be home to a New England Patriots reunion in 2023, as Raiders newcomer Jimmy Garoppolo will join head coach Josh McDaniels in an effort to turn the franchise’s fortunes around.
Garoppolo was introduced as the Raiders’ new quarterback Friday, signaling the start of a new era in Vegas after long-time signal caller Derek Carr departed for the New Orleans Saints this offseason. The presser was meant to kick off the future, but before anyone did that, the 31-year-old took a trip down memory lane.
Garoppolo told the story of how he met McDaniels during his introductory conference, detailing his pre-draft visit with the Patriots in the spring of 2014.
