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."
Julian Edelman on @TheGregHillShow: "Jimmy [Garoppolo], he can play football. He's got that little gun-slinger mentality. He's got that quick release. He's handsome. 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.
