Meet the Patriot that Arlington Heights Cares About This Super Bowl Sunday — Jimmy Garoppolo

Rolling Meadows High School graduate and New England Patriots Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo may or may not play today, but the fact Jimmy G is an Arlington Heights native turns up the excitement locally. “Jimmy G” (Arlingtoncardinal.com/JimmyG) is backup quarterback, who was drafted by New England in the second round in 2014. He could play if star quarterback Tom Brady takes a breather or gets hurt. Or he could play if New England routes Atlanta. According to OddsShark.com yesterday, the Patriots are favored by a field goal (3 points).

Here are some photos from Jimmy Garoppolo’s Instagram account …
