Jacoby Brissett may be the New England Patriots' Week 1 starting quarterback in 2024, but his most important role on the team will be mentoring the potential next face of the franchise.
The Patriots selected North Carolina QB Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 draft. Brissett, an eight-year NFL veteran, will be counted on to take the rookie under his wing. He'll have to do so while competing with Maye in training camp for the starting job.
Head coach Jerod Mayo has made it clear that the best of New England's four QBs will start in the season opener against Cincinnati.
