Free agent profile: Quarterback Jacoby Brissett

Jacoby Brissett has started 32 NFL games at QB. That is more than the 26 he started in college. He was thrust into the starting role for the Patriots in 2016 when Tom Brady was suspended and Jimmy Garoppolo was hurt. He started two games that year and he showed enough for the Colts to trade him for former first round wide receiver Phillip Dorsett. The Colts needed a QB because Andrew Luck was hurt and would miss the entire 2017 season. Luck played in 2018, but retired before the 2019 season. That thrust Brissett back into the starting role.
