Last season, Jeff Garcia became the first quarterback in 49ers history to throw for more than 30 touchdowns in back to back seasons. An amazing feat it was, considering his predecessors are future hall of famers Steve Young and Joe Montana. Jeff earned consecutive Pro Bowl trips as a result in only his second and third year in the NFL. Very little about the 32-year-old San Jose, California native resembles the profile of a prototypical quarterback. Jeff’s arm strength is marginal, his speed average, his height questionable, and his mechanics unorthodox. What Jeff lacks in physical attributes, however, he has more than made up with his heart, intelligence, and tenacity. Jeff joined Open Your Eyes recently to share some thoughts on his ascent to the pinnacle of NFL success.
