Jimmy Garoppolo was drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, where he finished 62nd overall. He was the quarterback with the highest draft selected by the Patriots since Drew Bledsoe was first selected in the 1993 World Cup, and the first player from the Football Championship Subdivision to be drafted in 2014. His contract with the Patriots was worth $3,483,898 ($1,103,744 guaranteed) with a signing bonus of $853,744 for four years.

Jimmy Garappolo was transferred to the San Francisco 49ers on October 31, 2017, in exchange for selecting the 49ers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and in his first game as part of the 49ers team, he jumped to six yards and threw a 10-yard touchdown to Louis Murphy. He completed the 24-13 defeat with 18-yard passes and a touchdown. On February 8, Jimmy and the 49ers agreed on a new contract, which provided for a 5-year season with a maximum income of $137.5 million.

Family – Parent, Ethnicity, Brothers

The name Jimmy Garoppolo certainly doesn’t sound very white-American, nor does it look 100 percent Caucasian. If you ever had your reservations or doubts about his ancestry, you were probably on the right track because he is of Italian descent thanks to his parents, father Tony Garoppolo, and mother Denise Garoppolo, who are Italian immigrants. Basically, Jimmy’s family is small and closely knit. He has three brothers and no sisters. Sometimes in interviews, he has revealed how much he would have loved to have a sister in his family, but oh! well, he will have to make do with his equally tough brothers.
