Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is not overlooking New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer heading into their matchup on Sunday.
Lafleur is familiar with Hoyer, as the coach’s brother, Mike LaFleur, coached Hoyer in San Francisco. He was also a coaching intern for the Cleveland Browns in 2014, when Hoyer was on the team. That year, the quarterback passed for 3,326 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 242 completions and 438 attempts that year remain career-highs for him.
Hoyer might have a chance to add to his career statistics, if he gets the opportunity to man New England’s quarterback ship following the injury to Mac Jones.
