Jimmy Garoppolo continues to look good the closer the 49ers get to the end zone. During an 11-on-11 red-zone drill on Tuesday, the quarterback made four throws from the 9-yard line or closer and all ended up as touchdowns despite close coverage from the defense.
Garoppolo's first pass was threaded through traffic to tight end Garrett Celek, who is emerging as the quarterback's go-to red-zone target and who wrestled the ball from cornerback Tyvis Powell in the back of the end zone. The second went to receiver Kendrick Bourne, who took a lot of first-team repetitions on Tuesday, in front of Jaquiski Tartt.
