On Thursday morning, head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters at a press conference that veteran quarterback, Jacoby Brissett, will start for the beginning of the season.
“There were a lot of factors that led to this choice,” said Mayo at yesterday’s conference. “I think the hard part is thinking of the short term and the long term at the same time. As an organization, we feel like Jacoby gives us the best chance to win right now.”
As a strong contender for this season, rookie quarterback Drake Maye challenged Brissett for the job.
