Super Bowl media week provides multiple days of media sessions, which means players and coaches are going to get asked everything under the sun. On Thursday, Kyle Shanahan was asked about previous rumors that he preferred Jimmy Garoppolo over Johnny Manziel in the 2014 NFL Draft. On Thursday, Shanahan confirmed he did like Garoppolo over Manziel. He also said he had Garoppolo as his No. 2 QB prospect that year, right behind Derek Carr.
Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but the first link above was from the end of Manziel and Garoppolo’s respective rookie seasons.
