Thanks to spending the first three-and-a-half seasons of his NFL career as Rob Gronkowski's teammate, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has firsthand knowledge how special the future Hall of Fame tight end was.

"There are a lot of similarities—on the field and a little bit off the field, too (laughs). George is tremendous. The energy he brings every day, how he goes about his business—he's always having fun while he's doing it.
