Early Life: Growing up in Arlington Heights

Jimmy was raised alongside his two older brothers and a younger one in his birthplace, by his parents Denise Garoppolo and Tony Garoppolo of unknown professions. In one of his interviews, he called it a ‘tight-knight, big Italian family’. He took a very early interest in football, since he was already exposed to it the moment he started attending Rolling Meadows High School, from where he matriculated in 2009; he then enrolled in Eastern Illinois University, where he played for the Eastern Illinois Panthers from 2010 to 2013. As a freshman, he started eight games, totaling 1,639 passing yards for 14 touchdowns, earning him the All-Ohio Valley Conference Newcomer Team honors, also thanks to his coach Bob Spoo. He went on to start every game at Eastern Illinois until he graduated, passing for 2,644 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2011, 3,823 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2012, and 5,050 yards and 53 touchdowns in 2013. He also broke the school record for career pass completions which was previously held by the (later) former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

Career: A Bright Future

During the 2014 NFL Draft, Jimmy was selected by the New England Patriots in the second round as the 62^nd pick overall, which makes him the first player from the Football Championship Subdivision drafted in 2014, as well as New England’s highest-drafted quarterback since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 as the first overall pick. After signing a four-year contract with New England Patriots, Garoppolo made his debut in the fourth quarter of the Patriots’ Week 4 41-14 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on “Monday Night Football.” He finished his first game with six of seven completed passes for 70 yards and a single touchdown, with a passer rating of 147.9. As a rookie, Garoppolo played in six games, completing 19 of 27 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown with a 101.2 passer rating, along with 10 rushing attempts for 9 yards. He was later credited with helping prepare his team’s defense against Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. In the next year, he played in five games in relief roles, completing 1 of 4 passes for 6 yards. 2016 was his last year at New England Patriots, during which he played in six games and started two. He was traded to the San Francisco 49ers on October 31^st 2017, debuting in Week 12 of the season against the Seattle Seahawks. He achieved a career-high of 120 completed passes for a total of 1,560 yards in 2017, and remains active there in 2018.

His 2018 Contract

On the 8^th of February 2018, Jimmy signed a 5-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, worth $137.5 million, which makes for the largest contract in NFL history on an annual basis. With $90 million guaranteed in the first three years, it’s also the largest amount in the history of NFL.

Love Life: A Mystery
