San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo told the NFL Network's Michael Irvin that his former teammate, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, reached out to him ahead of Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
"He shot me a text, just 'Good luck' and everything like that," Garoppolo said during Super Bowl Opening Night at Marlins Park on Monday. "'Just go handle business.' It wasn't too complicated or anything. Just, you know, 'Go win.'"
