You go through this NFL career and you start as a young guy coming in. <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/tom-bradys-assessment-of-jersey-number-rule-dumb\/\">Tom (Brady)<\/a> kind of showed me the ropes. The competition between us was awesome. It really made me grow as a rookie and as a young player. So, that&#8217;s kind of what me and Trey, we&#8217;ll mold our relationship into that. But it will happen naturally. It&#8217;s one of those things you can&#8217;t force anything. Just let it come as it may<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the 29-year old quarterback would have seen himself as one of the most promising heirs of Brady when the former was first drafted for the <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nfl\/nfl-team-detail\/NE\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New England Patriots<\/a>. Believe it or not, Garoppolo\u2019s position (when he was first picked to learn under Brady) is quite identical to what Lance is currently facing in San Francisco. In fact, Lance, too, comes from an FCS school, similar to Garoppolo.<\/p>\n<p>Understandably, the 49ers would expect Lance to eventually take our the <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nfl\/nfl-stats-player-wise\/Offense\/Passing\/PassingYards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quarterback position<\/a> after grooming under the veteran. Maybe, Garoppolo recognized that the past is repeating itself. And that\u2019s why he texted Trey as soon as the latter got drafted.<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/SamHustis\/status\/1389753033706278915<\/p>\n<p>The senior QB continued, &#8220;<em>I try to use my own personal experiences and just what I went through, what helped me, what challenged me as a young player. I&#8217;m going to use those tools that helped me and try to help Trey out. It&#8217;s hard to come into this league; I know how it was coming from an FCS school to the NFL.
