The New England Patriots put an unfamiliar face in a hugely important position at a time of great uncertainty. Specifically, Bill Belichick hired assistant Jedd Fisch to coach quarterbacks after the departure of Tom Brady.
But there’s one Patriot who has worked with Fisch. It’s another newcomer: receiver Marqise Lee. They worked together in Jacksonville, where Fisch was the offensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014. Lee was a rookie in 2014.
“Coach Jedd was a great, great coach at Jacksonville for me as far as when I first got there, just teaching me the things I needed to be as far as a player,” Lee told reporters on a videoconference call on Wednesday.
