FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Within a few hours after the New England Patriots selected Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham in the fourth round of the NFL draft, one of the players who could be most affected by the decision took the field at Gillette Stadium for some extra work.
Danny Etling, the former LSU quarterback selected in the 2018 seventh round, went through a warm-up for the first time since the competition at the backup spot to Tom Brady notably changed.
Stidham's arrival as the 133rd overall pick locks him into a roster spot behind Brady barring an unexpected turn of events.
