New England Patriots rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe should see ample playing time in the team’s preseason opener against the New York Giants on Thursday.
Zappe was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft. He comes to New England after having a historic 2021 season at the collegiate level. He led the FBS in passing yards with 5,545 yards and threw for 56 touchdowns, which was also an FBS record.
Throughout his college tenure, he totaled over 14,000 passing yards in five seasons—four at Houston Baptist and one at Western Kentucky.
