The Patriots technically have a backup quarterback on their roster, but Brian Hoyer is most definitely not the heir to the organization’s future.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Maycock, New England’s search for a young passer to take over after Tom Brady’s inevitable retirement — whenever that may be — is “getting more and more urgent.”
Maycock told reporters in a conference call Monday he believes there are “some interesting second- and third-round potential quarterbacks” for the Patriots to consider in the 2018 NFL Draft. The team has yet to use a first-round pick on a quarterback since selecting Drew Bledsoe No.
