Member » It’s the season of giving and when DeForest Buckner isn’t

on the field giving opposing offenses grief Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , he is off the field giving pure aloha. Earlier this week DeFo, the 49ers, non-profit Beyond Differences, and Levi’s partnered up to give twenty 8th grade student-leaders from LeyVa Middle School in East San Jose $100 and 90-minutes to find themselves something to wear for the holidays or something for their families. 49ers Community was kind enough to share some awesome scenes from the event with Niners Nation.The students were chosen for being a part of the school’s leadership program, which leverages themes and initiatives from nonprofit partner Beyond Differences. They are also the nonprofit that DeForest Buckner is supporting during the My Cause My Cleats initiative, in which his cause is spreading awareness about anti-bullying.Buckner spoke about why he chose Beyond Difference and the anti-bullying campaign when the My Cause My Cleats announcement was made. One hundred percent of net proceeds from the auction of Buckner’s cleats from the OT win Sunday against Seattle will go to support Beyond Differences, which is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to ending social isolation by empowering middle schools nationwide to create a culture of inclusion for everyone. Their positive prevention initiatives address the challenges around middle school youth becoming more self-aware about their own family’s identity, traditions and culture while learning acceptance, inclusion and respect for their classmates. Social isolation has been identified as a precursor to bullying.For the link to the 49ers My Cause My Cleats auction on NFLAuction.NFL.com head on over to bit.ly/ninerscleats.

Which will decline? Who will show improvement? Honestly, it’s probably a little too early to say, but regardless, when the topic of conversation is the 49ers, a common narrative begins to emerge: one Mr. James Garropolo, and whether or not he can stay healthy for the full 2019 season. In fact, just yesterday Dan Hanzus - host of the Around the NFL podcast - pointed out while discussing the 49ers prospects for 2019 Mike Person Jersey , “Jimmy Garropolo has never really put together a full season of tape as a franchise QB..” and went on to say “..I just want to see him play for 16 games..”.It’s a fair statement given that he missed all but three games last year with a torn ACL, but is Jimmy G really injury prone? I decided to check it out for myself, and this is what I found. In high school he played a total of 30 games in three seasons, no injuries of note. What about college? Mr. Jimmy took over as the starting QB of Eastern Illinois during his freshmen season playing the final 8 games. From there he would go on to start every game for the entirety of his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons. Thirty six games in all, no injuries of note. And finally the NFL. In 2014 as a rookie he appeared in 6 regular season games without incident. 2015 he saw very little action but did play in the preseason and in practices, and as we know (Jerick McKinnon) it is possible to injure oneself without playing a single regular season game. And yet again, he emerged unscathed. It wasn’t until 2016 - the year that he was to fill in for Tom Brady during his suspension - that he was finally struck by the injury bug. Missing two starts due to a sprained AC joint. In 2017 he played in 6 regular season games without injury. And finally, in 2018, as we all know Patrick Willis Color Rush Jersey , he tore his ACL in the third game of the season and missed the remainder of the season. So, what’s the verdict? Well, through three full seasons of HS, four full seasons of college, and five seasons in the NFL - 12 seasons total - Jimmy Garoppolo has had one major injury and one minor injury. Not too bad in my opinion, and nowhere near enough to consider it anything close to a pattern, or to earn him the label “injury prone”.
