The 133rd overall pick in last year’s NFL Draft, Jarrett Stidham, is set to be the most talked about player on the New England Patriots roster this offseason — if he isn’t already.
That’s what happens when a franchise quarterback leaves his team in free agency or via trade or retirement. It happened last year with Andrew Luck and the Colts, and it’s happening this year with Philip Rivers and the Chargers, Cam Newton and the Panthers, and Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers, among others.
Of course, the main reason that Winston is out of a job is also the main reason that Stidham’s job suddenly changed: Tom Brady is now QB1 down in Tampa Bay.
