As the NFL prepares to kick off its 2020 season, one of the most anticipated storylines is the return of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. After missing the majority of last season due to a torn ACL, Garoppolo is set to make his return to the field when training camp begins on July 24th.
Garoppolo was acquired by the 49ers in 2017 and quickly established himself as one of the league’s top quarterbacks. In his first full season as a starter in 2018, Garoppolo led the 49ers to a 13-3 record and a trip to the Super Bowl. He threw for over 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns during that season, showing that he was capable of leading a team to success.
Unfortunately, Garoppolo’s 2019 season was cut short after he suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite the injury, Garoppolo remained positive and worked hard to get back on the field. He spent the entire offseason rehabbing and preparing for training camp, and is now ready to take the field once again.
Garoppolo’s return is a huge boost for the 49ers, who are looking to build on their success from last season. With Garoppolo back under center, the team is expected to be one of the top contenders in the NFC. He will have plenty of weapons at his disposal, including wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, as well as tight end George Kittle.
Garoppolo’s return is also a huge boost for fantasy football owners, who will be looking to add him to their rosters. He is expected to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league this season, and could be a great addition to any fantasy team.
The start of training camp on July 24th marks the beginning of a new era for the San Francisco 49ers. With Jimmy Garoppolo back under center, the team is poised to make another run at a Super Bowl title. It will be exciting to see how he performs in his return to the field, and whether or not he can lead the 49ers back to glory.
