Patriots Captain Devin McCourty Supports QB Jarrett Stidham

Quarterback Jarrett Stidham became the Patriots' potential starter after Tom Brady's shocking departure to the Buccaneers, and team captain Devin McCourty feels confident Stidham is poised for his new role.

On Sunday night, McCourty discussed Stidham's talents with his twin brother and teammate Jason McCourty on their Double Coverage podcast.

"To me, the best thing for Stiddy was that he had to go against our defense every week. He didn't have it easy," Devin McCourty said. "I love his poise. I would be faking a blitz sometimes and we'd make eye contact and he'd just start smiling and laughing.
