Jimmy Garoppolo has packed his gym bag and prepared for Las Vegas
As he enters his 10th season, a lot has changed for Las Vegas Raiders forward Jimmy Garoppolo, but a lot remains the same. There's a lot of new stuff, like adjusting to the new environment in Las Vegas, his teammates and his playbook. But there is a familiarity with head coach Josh McDaniels, who was offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots during Garoppolo's first three years there. Currently ranked fifth in passer rating among active quarterbacks, Jimmy G will look to help the Raiders make some noise in the difficult AFC West, but is looking forward to...
Jimmy Garoppolo has packed his gym bag and prepared for Las Vegas
As he enters his 10th season, a lot has changed for Las Vegas Raiders forward Jimmy Garoppolo, but a lot remains the same. There's a lot of new stuff, like adjusting to the new environment in Las Vegas, his teammates and his playbook. But there is a familiarity with head coach Josh McDaniels, who was offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots during Garoppolo's first three years there.
Currently ranked fifth in passer rating among active quarterbacks, Jimmy G will look to help the Raiders make some noise in the difficult AFC West but is looking forward to the challenge. While taking a break from filming an upcoming spot with TravisMathew, Garoppolo chattedM&Fthrough some of his favorite accessories, including his favorite gear, Big League Chew, and a look at some of his game day jewelry.
TravisMathew Gear
I literally wear TravisMathew every day. I wear the Cloud Collection at night while I study the playbook. The partnership was really a given. I'm not just saying this to boost the brand, but the relationship came naturally, which made it easy for me. I just had to incorporate it into the training routine and the Raiders were very cool with it. It was great and I love those guys.
I thought I knew a lot about the fabrics and how soft they are, but I talked to the people behind the scenes and how they travel to Peru to find these different materials for the clothing. I really appreciate this because the devil is in the details and that's what sets clothing brands apart - how they feel and how they fit your body. That's what TravisMathew does so well and that's why our partnership made it so easy. It should be like that.

Hyperice Hypervolt GO
I literally use it every day. It helps stimulate blood circulation and wake up the muscles and tendons.

5-hour energy extra strong
This is mostly a game day thing and sometimes it's for practice here and there. These games are intense and you have to be ready. You have to be ready for 17 of these things. You have to take advantage of every advantage you can get and for me this is one of them.
Big League Chew
My brothers have a long supply of this stuff. It's one of those things where we're playing a child's game. You have to remember that you're supposed to be out there and having fun. Big League Chew brings me back to the childlike mindset every now and then.

Lacrosse ball
This is just for my muscles, mainly my feet. This surgery simply helps loosen the muscles on the bottom of your feet and in the arch of your foot. It's been important to me lately.

It's jewelry for Jimmy Garoppolo
Jewelry for game day is important to me. You look good, feel good. Feel good, play good. I am firmly convinced of that. You need to adjust the wrist to the necklace. I've always been a reserved jewelry guy. I don't like being conspicuous. Like I said, the devil is in the details. I like the finer things, but in a reserved way.
Jimmy Garoppolo needs his Beats Studio Buds
These are for training and game day, I'm old fashioned. 50 Cent is my boy and I love 50 Cent on game days. I get a lot of heat for that in the locker room, but I also listen to Lil Wayne, Jay-Z – a lot of Jay-Z. Rick Ross too and every now and then I add some AC/DC. It's a pretty good mix.

The right stuff
I didn't really get into hydration until my fourth year in the league. I remember seeing Tom [Brady] with the electrolytes and he would always drink these things. As a young player you don't think you need it and you can get by without it. As you get older in this game, you need every little advantage.
