You need a lot of confidence to be an NFL quarterback -- even if that confidence might be irrational.
The New England Patriots raised a few eyebrows Saturday by selecting Western Kentucky QB Bailey Zappe in the fourth round (No. 137 overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft. New England has its franchise quarterback in Mac Jones, so Zappe likely was brought in to compete with 37-year-old Brian Hoyer and 25-year-old Jarrett Stidham for the top backup job.
According to Zappe's college coach, however, the 23-year-old will show up in Foxboro with a more aggressive mindset.
