While there have been questions about the quarterback position all offseason, it has mostly been between former first round pick and presumed started Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe who went 2-0 as a starter for New England last season. After an impressive preseason performance, rookie quarterback Malik Cunningham has officially thrown his hat into the ring, not only to make the roster as a quarterback, but to perhaps earn some snaps should things go downhill at the position.
After spending the majority of training camp out at wide receiver, Cunningham made the most of his opportunity at quarterback in his first preseason game, where he was inserted into the fourth quarter completing 3 of 4 passes for 19 yards. He also led the team in rushing in his small stint, with five carries for an impressive 34 yards and the only Patriots touchdown on the night.
