Can the NFL’s Chillest Quarterback Thrive in Sin City?

Squint, and you could see the past as present again. There was Jimmy Garoppolo, dressed in a red practice jersey, throwing over the 49ers’ Dre Greenlaw in 11-on-11 drills, smiling and talking a few words of smack after his quick release helped him find an open target. The desert heat can make you see things, but this was no mirage. Garoppolo’s red jersey was of the noncontact variety, worn over his Las Vegas Raiders silver and black to remind defenders not to take down the quarterback during a recent joint practice between Garoppolo’s new team and his old one.
