A little more than a week ago, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said Drake Maye had outplayed Jacoby Brissett during a radio interview on WEEI.
Despite holding that opinion, Mayo announced Jacoby Brissett as the team’s starting quarterback last week.
On Tuesday morning, Mayo was asked why he would start Brissett if he felt Maye had outplayed him.
“I should have given more context to the comment at the time,” Mayo said on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. “Drake had more playing time in the preseason than Jacoby and that was intentional, so as we talk about the development plan we know what it is internally but it was definitely intentional.
