Lynch addressed the “like” in a tweet of his own Friday.
“Apparently – while in Christmas Eve Mass w my Family – I accidentally and unknowingly Liked a Tweet. Never intended to and remain a huge believer in Jimmy. Merry Christmas to everyone,” Lynch wrote.
Garoppolo’s starting role with San Francisco has been in question ever since the team decided to trade up and select Trey Lance with the No. 3 overall pick.
