Brian Lewerke expected to hear his name called during the NFL Draft. However, seven rounds came and went and the former Michigan State quarterback was left on the board.
By Sunday afternoon, however, Lewerke had found his next stop, one that brings him together with another former Spartan and offers plenty of opportunity. The three-year starter for the Spartans signed as a free agent with the New England Patriots, who are entering life without Tom Brady for the first time in 20 years.
Lewerke, the last quarterback to start for Mark Dantonio at Michigan State, joins Brian Hoyer, the first quarterback to start for Dantonio at Michigan State.
