We recently highlighted 10 veteran quarterbacks who could interest the New England Patriots if Cam Newton does not return for 2021.
Now, we’re taking the prospect route and identifying QBs the Patriots could target in the 2021 NFL Draft.
New England, which currently has just Jarrett Stidham and practice squadder Jake Dolegala for quarterbacks under contract for next season, owns the 15th overall pick in this year’s draft. That likely puts them out of reach of the best available signal-callers.
Consensus No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence never was a realistic option for the Patriots, and Ohio State’s Justin Fields and BYU’s Zach Wilson both are expected to go in the top five.
