A new era of New England Patriots football begins in earnest on Tuesday. With players reporting to Foxborough, Jerod Mayo's first training camp as head coach is officially underway. And Mayo wasted zero time in separating himself from his predecessor by being open with the media about the most important position battle the franchise has seen in years.
In his opening remarks to reporters at Gillette Stadium, Mayo revealed journeyman Jacoby Brissett will be the starting quarterback heading into camp. Rookie Drake Maye, selected with the third pick in the 2024 NFL draft, will have a chance to unseat Brissett according to Mayo but will begin camp second on the depth chart.
