San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley will get a chance to protect Jimmy Garoppolo’s blind side for the foreseeable future, and he is excited about Thursday’s developments. Staley had a radio interview scheduled with SiriusXM, and he learned of Garoppolo’s new contract shortly before getting on air.
Staley said he has been excited about Garoppolo from the get-go. He talked about how there was no feeling-out period for him, and he took control of practice from the moment he joined th huddle. He had a commanding presence, and people quickly bought in.
