New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo has made great strides, according to head coach Bill Belichick. ‘The reps that he’s gotten on the field in preseason games and in practice,’ Belichick said, ‘I think he’s shown a lot of development – better understanding, quicker recognition and reading of the defenses, more awareness of what’s happening on the defensive side of the ball, better communication, better understanding of the offense – really everything.’
