New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt could have a “heavy hand” in who the next Patriots quarterback will be.
Van Pelt was hired by New England on Thursday. He has a history of working with quarterbacks, beginning in 2005 when he was a quarterbacks coach for the Frankfurt Galaxy. He most recently served as the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns from 2020-2023. He also doubled as the quarterbacks coach during his time in Cleveland.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke down what this means for New England on Friday.
