Patriots reveal starting QB in battle between Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye
NY Post
We’re on to Cincinnati!
The Patriots have named Jacoby Brissett the starting quarterback for the team’s Week 1 game at the Bengals on Sept. 8, the team announced Thursday.
Head coach Jerod Mayo told his players in a team meeting that Brissett had won the battle and 2024 No. 3 overall draft pick Drake Maye would be the backup, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.
Brissett, the veteran, and Maye, the highly touted rookie, had been battling for the starting role during training camp and Mayo had previously been coy about the decision.
Mayo told reporters Wednesday that he had made his decision, but was not yet ready to reveal the starter until he announced the news to the team.
In a spot on WEEI earlier this week, Mayo said Maye had been performing better than Brissett as of late.
