HOUSTON – As much as John Lynch tries not to oversell Jimmy Garoppolo’s potential after “just one start,” the 49ers general manager sounds like so many others willing to lead the Garoppolo Fan Club.
“I could have had five rings if I had a guy like that,” Lynch said with a laugh Friday morning on KNBR 680-AM. “In Tampa, we never had that.”
Lynch, a former All-Pro safety, won only one Super Bowl ring in five playoff trips with the Buccaneers from 1993-2003.
