On a recent episode of the podcast “Game with Names,” Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman spoke about the most attractive players that the Patriots have. Despite spending four seasons with Jimmy Garoppolo, Edelman and Gronk did not rank him among the best-looking players.
The podcast episode included reminiscing about Patriots playing days, touching on topics like Deflategate, their disdain for the Colts, and praising Boston as the greatest sports city in the U.S. Edelman, who previously shared Brady made him feel sh**ty, also shared his candid stance on Jimmy Garoppolo’s signing in 2014.
Edelman’s candid take on Garoppolo signing
Edelman and Gronk ranked Tom Brady, Jimmy G, Danny Amendola, Gronk himself, and Edelman in terms of their looks. Edelman voiced his discontent with the Patriots’ decision to sign Garoppolo back in 2014.
He noticed a decline in his ranking among the attractive men at Foxborough and jokingly claimed to have become the fourth or possibly fifth most good-looking.
“You know when we drafted Jimmy G, I got pissed. Because I became like 4th best good-looking guy or maybe even the 5th.”
Gronk recently shared a funny anecdote where Brady was asked to choose between himself and Jimmy G in terms of handsomeness, and Brady amusingly picked himself.
While acknowledging the emphasis on appearance, Edelman highlighted that the team’s achievements were primarily due to effective coaching, strong discipline, and a reduced number of errors, enabling them to excel in demanding circumstances.
The Patriots were once one of the best teams in the NFL during Tom Brady’s tenure. Under the coaching of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady as QB, the team won six Lombardi Trophies and created two dynasties. However, after Tom Brady’s retirement, the team declined.
This year, the Patriots are having the worst season of their history, and the job of the HC is under scrutiny.
How many games did Jimmy Garoppolo win for the Patriots?
Jimmy Garoppolo started his NFL journey in 2014 as a member of the New England Patriots. He started his career as the backup quarterback to Tom Brady and made his first start in a game against the Chiefs.
Throughout his time with the Patriots, the quarterback achieved a remarkable record of 14 wins and only 3 losses, totaling 14 victories. In both 2015 and 2017, he successfully led the team to Super Bowl victories. Afterward, he joined the San Francisco 49ers and played a pivotal role in securing their first Super Bowl appearance in seven years.
Jimmy Garoppolo had significant success with the Patriots, contributing to two Super Bowl wins, and playing as a reserve and relief quarterback to Tom Brady. His career record with the Patriots stands at 14 wins and 3 losses.
Currently, he is the quarterback of the Las Vegas Raiders. While Tom Brady is already retired, Garoppolo is still succeeding in the NFL.
