San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, now with a beard, spoke with reporters on Monday and revealed that he is organizing throwing sessions with his receivers on weekends.
"We had our first one this weekend," Garoppolo said. "It's just something I like to do. It kind of gets us away from the coaches and everything. It allows me to talk to the receivers about specific things – or tight ends or running backs.
"We try to get everyone out there we can. I understand people have things that they have to get to.
"We had a great showing this Saturday. It was good just to be on the same page with those guys, talking through routes, concepts, how they see it versus how I see it. It just gets us on the same page."
