As the Patriots prepare to travel to Cleveland for Sunday’s matchup, an old friend will be waiting for them.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett was drafted by New England in the third round in 2016, and spent the 2016-17 season with the Patriots. He appeared in three games for New England, making two starts in the wake of Tom Brady’s “Deflategate” suspension and an injury to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Brissett was traded to the Indianapolis Colts just prior to the 2017-18 season, but reflected positively on the time he spent in New England.
“A lot of good memories,” Brissett told the media on Wednesday, as transcribed by the Akron Beacon Journal’s Chris Easterling.
