The New England Patriots’ need at quarterback heading into the 2021 NFL season is no secret, nor is their aggressive scouting of this year’s top quarterback prospects in the NFL draft.
Two of those signal-callers — Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and BYU’s Zach Wilson — are likely well out of the Patriots’ range even if they move up from their No. 15 overall slot.
But NFL.com expert Daniel Jeremiah says one quarterback that could fall into striking distance could especially pique New England’s interest.
“I could see Bill Belichick having an affinity and a lot of fun with a guy like Trey Lance,” Jeremiah said on a video conference call with reporters Tuesday.
