Jimmy Garoppolo and Patrick Mahomes will battle in the Super Bowl next Sunday, but the two shared a nice moment a year ago when Garoppolo was at his lowest.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2018 season in a road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. After the game, Mahomes came to the 49ers locker room to offer support to his injured opponent.

"For him to do something as simple as that, it went a long way," Garoppolo said Thursday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
