The San Francisco 49ers held their annual State of the Franchise event on Wednesday night, and tackle Joe Staley joined three other offensive teammates onstage. One of those players was Jimmy Garoppolo, and Staley was asked to share some interesting tidbits about his quarterback.

"One thing that people don't know about him is that he literally sweats olive oil," Staley responded. "His glistening skin, it quaffs the hair perfectly."

"Part of being Italian," Garoppolo responded while laughing.

Staley didn't stop there.

"Guys, an unbelievable jaw structure," he continued. "He's got the most velvety-smooth voice in the huddle."

Staley, of course, was referring to Garoppolo's cadence at the line of scrimmage. It's something that tight end George Kittle, who was also onstage, shared with reporters on Tuesday.

"It's just really fun to have him back out there because he still has the best cadence I've ever heard in my life," Kittle said. "It gets me excited."

Staley pressured Garoppolo to give the fans a sample during the Wednesday-night event, and the quarterback complied.

Kittle, seated by Garoppolo, was left fanning himself after the example.

"I mean, with that cadence, we're coming off the ball firing on all cylinders," Staley added.


The veteran tackle kept going but went in a more serious direction.

"Jimmy, he's a great quarterback," Staley said. "I think he has a very, very calm demeanor with also being incredibly competitive. He's one of the most competitive people I've ever been around.

"I know last year was a huge downer because of the injury and everything he had. But I think that personality that he has, and the way that he's so incredibly competitive, I'm incredibly excited to see him on the field this year because I know how much it was burning in him to not be on the field with us last year, and how hard he's been working this offseason.

"And he's just an amazing leader. He brings guys together. Guys respond to him, they respect him. He puts in an incredible amount of hard work. He's very, very prepared. I could go on, but I think I took five minutes of that time to answer one question."

Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the NFC West after signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently explained his decision to join the division rival after a one-season stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. "Obviously good players all around," Garoppolo said, per ESPN. "That's a big part of it. Talking to [head coach] Sean [McVay] on the phone, him just running me through offense and things that he had in mind, it really became appetizing. And I know a lot of the coaches here, so a lot of familiarity in that aspect. And then having played against the Rams a lot in my career, I've seen a lot of good things

What is Brandon Staley's role with the 49ers?

By David Bonilla
Mar 26

Following the dismissal of Steve Wilks, Brandon Staley interviewed for the San Francisco 49ers' vacant defensive coordinator job. Opting to go with internal candidate Nick Sorenson allowed the team to maintain continuity while entrusting the defense to a play-caller very familiar with the scheme the 49ers want to deploy. Sorenson previously worked with former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and served as an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks, so that familiarity gave him the edge. Where did that leave Staley? The 49ers hired him, too. However, Staley won't serve as the team's defensive coordinator. Right now, he has the title of assistant head coach. He will be heavily involved in game-day planning.
