Jimmy Garoppolo didn't want to take time away from his San Francisco 49ers teammates or coaching staff last season as he rehabbed from a torn ACL suffered in late-September. He still wanted to review film and improve. With his head coach and quarterbacks coach focused on the season, the rehabbing quarterback turned to someone familiar with what the 49ers are doing, Kyle Shanahan's father.
Garoppolo told reporters on Tuesday that he spent time watching film with Mike Shanahan in December, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.
Garoppolo is expected to begin throwing and doing some non-contact work during organized team activities, which kick off in late-May. The 49ers remain hopeful that he will be completely healthy by training camp or the start of the regular season.
Garoppolo completed 53-of-89 attempts (59.6 percent) for 718 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions through three starts last season before suffering his season-ending injury during a Week 3 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Meanwhile, league rules prevent Kyle Shanahan from talking football with his quarterback until the team reconvenes in April. The two still see each other around the 49ers facilities.
"We can talk, but we can't talk about football," Shanahan said on Tuesday via 49ers team reporter Joe Fann. "We don't have much else to talk about, though, so it's pretty awkward."

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
