Patriots owner Robert Kraft wasn’t willing to discuss every topic related to the DeflateGate penalties handed down by the league last week during an interview with Peter King of TheMMQB.com, but he did share a few opinions about the player who may be starting at quarterback for his team for the first four weeks of the regular season.
Barring a complete wipeout of quarterback Tom Brady’s four-game suspension, Jimmy Garoppolo will likely make his first NFL start against the Steelers to kick off the 2015 season. Kraft said he hoped the question of how the 2014 second-round pick would do turns out to be an “academic” one and he didn’t offer much in the way of an optimistic prediction if it doesn’t.
