The QB Who Will Replace Tom Brady During His Suspension Is A Huge Bro

Facebook/New England Patriots

Move over, Tom Brady, there's a new kid in town. At least, there will be for four games.

After it was announced yesterday Brady is suspended for the first four regular-season games for his role in Deflategate, the stage has been set for sophomore quarterback and Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo to get his shine.

The 23-year-old was New England's second-round pick last year, a high selection that gave Pats fans hope there would be life after Brady.

But Garoppolo is now due to play important regular season games sooner than most expected, which means he'll soon be known among all NFL-loving households.

But just who is Jimmy Garoppolo? The answer is complicated. Like most of us, a lot can be learned about the man by looking through his ratchet tweets from college.

Let's jump in. He's everything you need to know about Jimmy G, according to his campus tweets.

He played at Eastern Illinois University for four years.
