Jacoby Brissett brings significant experience back to the Patriots, both from his previous stint in New England to his understanding of the new offense.
The veteran quarterback inked a deal earlier this week to return to the Patriots after playing his rookie year with the team.
“It’s exciting,” Brissett shared in an interview, per team-provided video. “I got drafted here eight years ago. To walk around the building and see a lot of things that look familiar, I’m excited to be back.”
Brissett had an important impact during that 2016 season, getting the start and scoring on a rushing touchdown in a 27-0 Thursday night shutout of the Houston Texans, the same team the Patriots would defeat that year in the AFC Divisional Round.
