FOXBORO, Mass. — Jerod Mayo made two announcements regarding the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback over the last six weeks. The season-opening reveal when veteran Jacoby Brissett was named the starter played out a bit differently than the elevation of rookie Drake Maye.
The Patriots first-year head coach didn’t seem too happy about the latter.
“A little bit,” Mayo said at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday when asked if he was disappointed in how the news was leaked.
Patriots players were off Tuesday as reports from the top NFL insiders and beat reporters surfaced that afternoon.
