San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been the recipient of plenty of criticism over the past two weeks as he’s posted relatively uninspiring numbers in the Niners’ two postseason games. However, with the 49ers gearing up for the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams, tight end George Kittle was asked multiple questions about Jimmy G in his weekly media availability on Thursday.
Kittle has been a staunch defender of Garoppolo throughout his 49ers career, which remains unchanged. Kittle’s outgoing personality has always led him to go out of his way to compliment and defend his coaches and teammates when he’s talking with the press.
