They haven't been teammates for three years, but New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman still has a fondness for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The two will get to see each other again on Sunday when the Patriots host the 49ers at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

This weekend's matchup will be the first time Garoppolo has faced his former squad since the Patriots traded the quarterback to San Francisco in the middle of the 2017 season. Of course, that has resulted in the quarterback receiving a lot of questions about his time in New England learning under Bill Belichick. It also resulted in a question about Garoppolo for Edelman during "The Greg Hill Show."

"Jimmy, he can play football," Edelman said on WEEI in Boston. "He's got that little gun-slinger mentality. He's got that quick release. He's handsome. You know, he's got it all."


Added Edelman: "I don't play against Jimmy G. I'll play against the defense. I'll be playing against the 49ers defense, but it will be weird and kind of cool to see him in my hometown uniform that I grew up watching, coming to Foxborough to play us this weekend."

Edelman was born in Redwood City, California.

Super Bowl-winning head coach Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs witnessed all he needed from Brock Purdy last season to assure him that the San Francisco 49ers are in capable hands at the quarterback position. Purdy was an MVP nominee in 2023 and had his 49ers just a play or two away from clinching a Super Bowl victory away from the Chiefs. Unfortunately, for Purdy and the 49ers, Reid and his own quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, widely regarded as the best in the game today, dashed their Super Bowl dreams in overtime last month.

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
