Another “superhero” who isn’t necessarily blessed with any superhuman powers, The Falcon — aka Sam Wilson — is a character who gets by on grit, guile, and general versatility. That sounds similar to the way Jimmy Garoppolo approaches the quarterback position. In the end of Avengers: EndGame, the aged Captain America hands Wilson his shield, in a nod to the comics (where Wilson takes up the mantle of Captain America).

This juxtaposes well with the idea of Garoppolo being The Falcon, given that many feel he’s close to assuming the mantle of one of the NFL’s next great quarterbacks.
