Jimmy Garoppolo is no longer with the San Francisco 49ers. These days, he’s spending his time with the Los Angeles Rams as their backup quarterback. However, in a recent game between the two teams, Garoppolo took the opportunity to reconnect with Nick Bosa and George Kittle, offering them a unique gift after the matchup.

According to Matt Lively of CBS Bay Area, Garoppolo was seen greeting several of his former teammates after the 49ers’ 12-6 loss to the Rams. He offered to send jerseys to Nick Bosa and George Kittle while exchanging a few words and hugs with his old friends.

Another notable moment came when Garoppolo briefly shook hands with Brock Purdy. While their exchange was quick, it was clear that the 49ers‘ starting quarterback holds respect for his former mentor, having backed him up during Jimmy’s final months in San Francisco.
