Jimmy Garoppolo keeps it short and sweet: 'It's good to be back'

Jimmy Garoppolo has been a regular at lending a hand at the AccessSportAmerica football skills clinic through the years. And the 150 or so high school students with disabilities were sure glad Jimmy G was on hand today at Harvard Stadium. By the look of it, they felt fortunate to be on the receiving end of the quarterback’s passes.

Bill Belichick resisted the temptation to trade his backup to Tom Brady, even though Garoppolo becomes a free agent at season’s end. That means Garoppolo is going to stick around at least another year. So he was at Harvard for his third straight year, along with teammates Patrick Chung and Devin Lucien, brightening the day of many students while going through various football drills.
