FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One thing that has become clear since the New England Patriots traded quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday is how widely respected Garoppolo was by many in the organization. Take, for example, veteran receiver Julian Edelman.
In an appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" program Friday, Edelman shared his thoughts on Garoppolo going to the 49ers.
"They're getting a stud, man," Edelman said. "He was a good little friend of mine. He would come out to L.A. and I would punk him into throwing to me a bunch his first couple of years and then he got a little too big for it.
