Jimmy Garoppolo is preparing for his first Super Bowl as a starter as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs, but his experience with the New England Patriots could help him in the upcoming title game.

The quarterback explained Thursday that he learned a lot from backing up Tom Brady in 2014 and 2016.
