WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has a habit of performing best when the stakes are at their highest, at least on a relative scale.
Garoppolo completed 10 of his final 11 passes over two periods of hurry-up offense yesterday when the Patriots and Houston Texans conducted their first joint practice at the Greenbrier. It was a heck of a way for Garoppolo to rebound from a woeful 2-of-10 start to practice.
And again, even with just a snapshot of practice, it fit with the pattern of Garoppolo’s career. He might not always be on, but he tends to play well under pressure.
