You might remember tight end George Kittle wearing a T-shirt featuring a shirtless Jimmy Garoppolo following the San Francisco 49ers' win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game. It was even signed by his quarterback.



Of course, that came after Garoppolo received this in the mail and showed it off to reporters.


Garoppolo finally responded by reporting to training camp on Saturday wearing a T-shirt featuring his All-Pro tight end. His version, however, has a photo of Kittle donning the Garoppolo shirt he wore in January.

That's just clever.

"Oh hey there. No. 7 in the Top 100. No. 1 in your heart, baby. George Kittle," said Garoppolo.


The bromance between the 49ers quarterback and his favorite on-field target continues, and the real winners are the fans.

Veteran players were allowed into the facility on Saturday after undergoing two rounds of COVID-19 tests. Garoppolo and his fellow quarterbacks, however, were among the group of players who were allowed to report earlier along with the team's rookies and rehabbing players.



Update: Kittle responded to the shirt.


Someone might be a little jealous, though.

According to general manager John Lynch, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward wasn't the sole player to undergo core muscle surgery this offseason.

49ers Notebook: Crucial offseason for Purdy; O-line confidence; Shanahan on new kickoff rule, Dobbs signing; Hufanga eyes training camp return

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't have to field as many quarterback questions as he did a year ago after Brock Purdy underwent surgery, the arrival of Sam Darnold, and the uncertainty surrounding the future of Trey Lance. The quarterback situation is clearer now than it has been in recent years. For Purdy, this offseason holds significant importance. It marks the first time he can focus on on-field improvement during minicamps, OTAs, and training camp. While he had this opportunity as a rookie in 2022, he was buried on the depth chart, limiting his practice reps. Last year, Purdy was still recovering from surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. He didn't get to throw to his teammates until training camp in

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
