Watch: Reuben Foster is a fan of Jimmy Garoppolo’s smile

Nov 2, 2017 at 3:34 PM--


Reuben Foster is fond of his new quarterback. The rookie linebacker, who has a great smile himself, was complimentary of Jimmy Garoppolo's while talking to the media before practice on Thursday.

Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group asked Foster what his initial impressions of Garoppolo were upon meeting him for the first time.

"Jimmy, he looks like a nice, cool guy," Foster said with his traditional big smile. "He got a nice smile on him, like an innocent smile so, yeah, he's going to fit in perfectly."

Inman asked: "You know how that goes, huh?"

"Yeah, I know how that goes," Foster responded. "He's going to fit in perfectly. He's a winner. I can see it."

Ex-49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo underwent foot surgery in March

One of the biggest criticisms about Jimmy Garoppolo has been his availability. The quarterback wins football games but has been available for an entire season just once in his career—in 2019. Garoppolo's latest injury occurred on December 4 while with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran left a regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins with a foot injury. It was later revealed that he suffered a broken foot and would miss significant time. However, it wasn't believed to require surgery. That led to the emergence of Brock Purdy, the seventh-round draft pick that took the NFL by storm. He led the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game before suffering an injury himself. Garoppolo remained on the 49ers' 53-man roster through all that. The 49ers

While several of the starting spots are solidified, there are still a few position battles to watch, as well as depth questions that could allow younger players to compete and take 53-man roster spots at the end of the offseason.

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room

Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot. That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam
