The New England Patriots told Brian Hoyer he’d be in the mix for a starting role when they signed him and they’re appearing to hold that true.
New England shared a glimpse of the team’s first unpadded training camp practice and Hoyer took the first rep in a rollout drill. Second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham took the second rep and Cam Newton took the third — followed by undrafted free agent Brian Lewerke.
Bill Belichick has’t revealed the Patriots’ starting quarterback yet and the team’s first game is on Sept. 13 against the Miami Dolphins at home.
