Patriots Wholesale Handbags draft Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round

Tom Brady isn't getting any younger. Ryan Mallett trade rumors have been swirling.

And on Friday, the Patriots might have found their future quarterback.

In the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Pats sent shockwaves through NFL by selecting Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo with their 62nd pick.

Growing up in Arlington Heights, Ill., Garoppolo said Brady was one of his favorite players and has tried to mold his game after him. The thought of getting to work with his boyhood idol made his Wholesale Cheap Sunglasses head spin when he got the call from Bill Belichick.

"Initially, I was at a loss for words," Garoppolo said. "Excited to get out there and the opportunity to play for such a successful organization. I couldn't have pictured any better.

"It's pretty exciting. Being able to go to Boston and learn from Tom and coach Belichick and all the coaches and all the players, it's a great opportunity for a guy like me a young player. I have a lot to learn. I know that and I'm excited about it."

Brady will turn 37 on Aug. 3, but still figures to be playing in the next three years. The perennial Pro Bowler and future hall of famer has talked often about wanting to play to at least 40 years old. He struggled with his deep ball from time to time last season, but still threw for 4,343 yards to go along with 25 touchdowns in a year were most of his weapons were either hurt Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola or in their first NFL season Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins.

Mallett's contract is up at the end of the season and in the past couple of days, there have been rumors that the Patriots and Houston were discussing a deal. The Texans denied the report, but head coach Bill O'Brien coached Mallett as a rookie, so there's a connection there.

The last time the Patriots held onto three quarterbacks on the 53 man roster was in 2011. That season, they drafted Mallett in the third round and still kept Brian Hoyer on the team to backup Brady.

Garoppolo said he's prepared to ride the bench in the case that Brady plays out his contract, which ends in 2017.

"I feel good about it," Garoppolo said. "It's one of those things whether I was coming in as a starter or a backup; I'm going to approach it the same way either way. My mindset is the same as it would be if I was going in as a starter. I'm going to go out there and try to get better each and every day and that's what good football players do."

Garoppolo ended up being the only player that the Patriots selected on day two of the Draft. When their turn came to select in third round, Belichick shipped the team's 93rd pick to Jacksonville in exchange for the Jaguars fourth round pick (105) and a sixth round pick (179).

With the pick, Jacksonville selected Miami offensive guard Brandon Linder. The Pats now hold three fourth round picks (105, 130, 140) and three sixth round Wholesale Bags (179, 198, 206) and will finish up their Draft, which starts at noon, on Saturday.

The team came into Friday with several needs that they could've addressed, instead they surprised many by selecting a quarterback. Nevertheless, Garoppolo said he feels that he's a perfect fit for the Patriots.

"It fits me very well," he said. "They're a very blue collared organization. They seem like all business and they get to work. That's what I'm excited about. I'm a blue collared guy and I go to work every. That's what I'm excited about. I think it's a very good Cheap Wholesale Sunglasses fit."

A four year starter, Garoppolo put up monster numbers last season in the Football Championship Subdivision. He broke most of Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo's school records after throwing for 5,050 yards and 53 touchdowns last season. He was the recipient of the Walter Payton Award last season, giving to the best FCS player, and named the offensive MVP of the East West Shrine Game.

As he's sitting on the bench in the upcoming years, Garoppolo can only dream that his situation turns out to be reminiscent to Aaron Rogers, who backed up Brett Farve for three seasons in Green Bay.

"I remember when it happened. Him sitting in the Draft room and waiting a little while," Garoppolo said. "You know, it's a very similar scenario. It worked out very well for Aaron so hopefully it'll work out the same for me."
