The New England Patriots don’t spend too much time looking into the rearview mirror, and with a possible Tom Brady suspension on the horizon, it appears the Patriots are already looking to ready Jimmy Garoppolo for the start of the 2015 NFL season.

READ: Jimmy Garoppolo Is Ready To Go If Tom Brady Gets Suspended
Through NBC Sports Pro Football Talk and according to Garoppolo’s personal coach, “From the exchanges I’ve had with Jimmy, I can tell you Tom’s [Brady] been great with him, and helping him understand NFL defenses, along with the offense,” Jeff Christiansen told Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald. “He’s got nothing but great things to say about the whole situation. He feels very fortunate.
“With Tom’s professionalism and willingness to help the kid,” he added, “I’m sure he’ll do real well if that happens.”

This could be much ado about nothing, but it’s tough to argue the Patriots aren’t preparing for the worst. A fate New England must equip for knowing Roger Goodell‘s inconsistent disciplinary track record. Who knows, maybe Garoppolo becomes the Brady to Brady’s Drew Bledsoe, or even Matt Cassel 2.0. Wouldn’t that be crazy?
Well, not as crazy as sitting out a year for overseeing under-inflated footballs.
