It's pretty safe to say that Jimmy Garoppolo and Erin Andrews have both had their fair share of iconic moments on the field.
One is a two-time Super Bowl champion and now the highest-paid backup quarterback in the National Football League. The other is one of the game's most renowned and respected sideline reporters.
But perhaps one of the most iconic moments of their careers actually featured both of them at the same time and in the very same place.
Garoppolo led the San Francisco 49ers to an 8-0 start to the season. But instead of making the rounds for his great play, it was what he told Andrews that made him go viral: “feels great, baby."
Now, nearly three years later, Andrews finally cleared the air on what actually happened.
The 42-year-old sideline reporter joked around and explained how he wasn't flirting with her, especially with her husband right behind her while they were doing the interview:
Moreover, Andrews revealed that Garoppolo actually got the 'Baby' from Tom Brady, who he backed up when he first entered the league with the New England Patriots:
On a side note, Jimmy G didn't have the most enjoyable off-season by any means. He lost his starting job to Trey Lance and every single team in the league shut the door on him due to his huge salary and an undisclosed shoulder injury.
However, he still got his way and agreed on a new contract with the 49ers to become the NFL's highest-earning backup QB, so he's still got a chance to take the job back if Lance struggles or gets hurt.
That's got to feel great, baby.
