Who knew Jacoby Brissett would be the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback entering Week 1? And who knew Brian Hoyer would be his backup?
Not Hoyer, who was released by the New England Patriots on Saturday and signed a three-year contract with the Colts on Monday.
That meant the 33-year-old had to toss his Patriots playbook and learn Indy's system less than a week before its season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
So, how has that transition been for Hoyer?
"It's like studying Spanish all year, then before the final, the teacher hands you a French book," Hoyer told reporters Wednesday, via FOX59's Dave Griffiths.
