One video shows why Garoppolo is a superstar


Want to see why Jimmy Garoppolo was worth the 49ers trading a second-round pick?

You saw it in that final drive that led to Robbie Gould's game-winning 45-yard field goal against the Tennessee Titans.

But some behind-the-scenes footage of a super-calm and focused Garoppolo proves he's a superstar: We get to hear what he tells the offense in the huddle as he starts that game-winning drive. We see him communicate with his coaches to figure out a good two-minute drill plan and the advice he has for wideout Trent Taylor about what to do with the coverage they've seen.

Yup. Totally worth trading a top-60 pick. And maybe the Patriots will regret making that deal in hindsight?
