It didn’t take long for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to win over his teammates. For tight end Garrett Celek, it happened during Garoppolo’s very first practice with the team.
Celek spoke with NBC Sports’ Peter King about the 49ers quarterback, and King asked Celek to pinpoint the moment ” he knew Garoppolo was a keeper.”
“The first time he got in the huddle with us,” Celek answered.
“Huh?” King asked.
“I’d said maybe two words to him,” Celek said. “I didn’t know what kind of guy he was. He came into the huddle for the very first time, and he talked to us and called the play like he’d been in there 10 years.
