Brian Hoyer explains how he’d handle Patriots’ QB situation

Former New England Patriots backup signal-caller Brian Hoyer approves of the organization’s plan at quarterback.

New England signed veteran Jacoby Brissett in March to serve as a bridge quarterback, while the team developed a rookie. The 2024 NFL draft rolled around, the Patriots used the No. 3 pick on Drake Maye and the rest is history.

Now that Maye is in the fold, the Patriots have another opportunity to develop a rookie quarterback in an offense needing a jump-start after a dismal 2023 season.

Hoyer appeared on ESPN’s NFL Live and shared his thoughts on the Patriots’ plan at the quarterback position.
