As Garoppolo walked off the 49ers’ practice field to do some more throwing to the side on Wednesday, one fan excitedly waved the signal-caller over for a high-five.
Shouts of, “We love you Jimmy!” could be heard in the background as Garoppolo slapped the hands of several 49ers fans who came to Levi’s Stadium to watch practice.
And on Tuesday, a group of fans in the stands’ “Community Corner” watched Garoppolo put on a show on the facility’s side field. Even though the rest of the team was hard at work on the practice field in front of them, their backs were turned in order to take in Garoppolo’s progress.
As he showed off his post-surgery throwing motion, the young fans shouted words of encouragement and asked for his autograph.
Garoppolo’s future with the 49ers is up in the air as the team and his agents search for a viable trade partner.
