We officially have our biggest development of the San Francisco 49ers offseason workout program. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo reported to the facility with a new beard.

He apparently just decided to let it start happening, and now it’s gone well beyond the 5 o’clock shadow stage. It’s not quite to the level of myself or James Brady, but he’s gotta start somewhere. After all, the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
Garoppolo also mentioned he was hoping to get out to a San Jose Sharks game soon, and that coupled with the beard comment brought Sharks defenseman Brent Burns out of the woodwork! Sharks media relations manager Ben Guerrero connected Jimmy G with Burns, and the Sharks defenseman was ready to get him to a game and bring out some beard oil!
I think we can help ya out!! Sharks game and beard oil! Let’s get ya to the tank! #bayareaunite pic.twitter.com/f8gnQITMFA

The Sharks face off against my Vegas Golden Knights in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The puck drops for Game 1 later this week, with the schedule still to be determined. I wonder if Jimmy G will stick with the beard for the long haul, or if he’ll just grow a playoff beard in support of the Sharks?
