John Lynch says Kyle Shanahan has challenged Jimmy Garoppolo from the neck up

The San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined the Jim Rome show on Thursday to talk about the offseason. Lynch says Kyle Shanahan has challenged Jimmy Garoppolo from the neck up while recovering from his ACL tear and has brought in his father -- and two-time Super Bowl-winning head coach -- Mike, to tutor him. He also talked about how when they brought Garoppolo in, the quarterback hadn’t played much football, so they knew they had to put him through challenges and find ways to allow Garoppolo to learn the system.
