After Tom Brady announced his departure last March, Jarrett Stidham remained as the only quarterback on the New England Patriots’ roster and the frontrunner to earn the starting position. One year later, however, his outlook has changed quite a bit.
Not only did Stidham end up not starting any games in 2020 due to the arrival of former league MVP Cam Newton ahead of training camp, he also saw the Patriots select Mac Jones in the first round of the NFL Draft earlier this year. With those two in the fold, and veteran Brian Hoyer also part of the equation, Stidham appears to be fighting for his roster life.
