The first thing Tom Brady did when he relieved Jimmy Garoppolo last night was finding Dobson over the middle for a 37-yard gain. Here it is:
Notice how Dobson immediately knew where to be when Brady stepped into the game. It seemed like Brady was going to Dobson from the time the ball was snapped, and Dobson did his part, making the snag in traffic and immediately dodging two would-be Carolina Panthers tacklers before scampering until Luke Kuechly chased him down.
Look, this isn’t to say that Dobson will make the Patriots’ final roster solely because of that play.
