Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played a role in making cameos throughout the 49ers' successful season.

While that attention was mainly surrounding diehard WWE fan, George Kittle, The Rock, who was born in the Bay Area, also wanted to give props to the 49ers' quarterback.

The wrestler/entertainer took to Instagram to give a shoutout to Jimmy Garoppolo after the 49ers fell to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV:

"Though the outcome wasn’t what you wanted -- you’ll no doubt come back stronger, better, smarter and hungrier next season."

Many blasted Jimmy G for the 49ers coming up short in Miami.

Following the loss Sunday, Garoppolo spoke to the media about the overthrown pass late in the fourth quarter to Emmanuel Sanders. He appeared to admit it was one of the routine plays they typically make, but not when it counted. Sanders himself stormed out after being asked about the play.

That could have been the game-changer or even the game-winner.

Jimmy G had been subject to plenty of negative comments heading into the big game. Not many believed in him, but the 49ers couldn't have arrived at Miami without him.

It's nice to see someone like The Rock, who knows what hard work looks like, backing Garoppolo.
