The New England Patriots had one of the most magnified position battles in the NFL this preseason, as fans eagerly awaited the decision of who the starting quarterback would be. In the end, head coach Jerod Mayo went with veteran Jacoby Brissett over rookie Drake Maye as the man who will be under center when the Patriots kick off their season on Sept. 8.
Many were curious how the rookie, who the Patriots selected with the No. 3 overall pick in this spring's NFL Draft, would handle the news. The former North Carolina star took it quite well according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.
