He was the quarterback with the highest draft selected by the Patriots since Drew Bledsoe was first selected in the 1993 World Cup, and the first player from the Football Championship Subdivision to be drafted in 2014. His contract with the Patriots was worth $3,483,898 ($1,103,744 guaranteed) with a signing bonus of $853,744 for four years.

Family – Parent, Ethnicity, Brothers

The name Jimmy Garoppolo certainly doesn’t sound very white-American, nor does it look 100 percent Caucasian.

Basically, Jimmy’s family is small and closely knit. He has three brothers and no sisters. Sometimes in interviews, he has revealed how much he would have loved to have a sister in his family, but oh! well, he will have to make do with his equally tough brothers.

Jimmy Garappolo is undoubtedly a charming young man that most ladies would love to meet. He has never been married and there is no news that he has a wife or a baby mama somewhere. As a result, most fans were eager to find out who he was actually with.

Although Jimmy initially seemed to fall into the cliché of soccer players who like to keep most of their private life out of the public eye, he was recently seen on July 19, 2018, with a lady, but not just any lady, an adult movie star named Kiara Mia.
