New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo has decided to role with Jacoby Brissett’s as the team’s starting quarterback, opting to sit No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye to start the season.
“We have decided, or I have decided, that Jacoby Brissett will be our starting quarterback this season,” Mayo said Thursday. “In saying that, as an organization, we are 100% behind Jacoby. There is no ‘You got a guy right here, you got a guy right there.’ We’re 100% behind Jacoby.”
Brissett started all three of the Patriots’ preseason games, playing 27 total snaps and finishing 5-of-14 for 36 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception.
Maye followed up Brissett in all three games, playing 66 snaps and going 21-of-34 for 192 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. He added seven rushes for 32 yards and one touchdown.
Eventually the team will pass the reigns to Drake Maye but for now, it’s the Jacoby Brissett show.
