Jimmy Garoppolo on the 49ers’ receivers, improving the deep ball, and Jerick McKinnon

He’s going to have a chance to silence the doubters soon. Despite leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 13-3 record, and a Super Bowl appearance in his first full season as a starter, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo still has his fair share of critics.

One key for Garoppolo this offseason is that he was able to focus on sharpening his skills rather than rehabbing a knee injury, which is what he spent a bulk of the lead-up to the 2019 season doing.

The 28-year-old talked to the media after practice and opened up about several topics, including how the Niners’ receivers are performing at practice minus Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd.
