The New England Patriots might officially have a quarterback battle on their hands with impressive rookie Bailey Zappe set to be given a chance to win the starting job over Mac Jones.
The Patriots looked to have found their long-term replacement for Tom Brady in 2021 when they drafted former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones in the first-round, who had an impressive rookie season under the circumstances, but struggled in his recent year in a dysfunctional Patriots offense.
And after missing time with injuries this past season, fourth-round rookie Bailey Zappe stepped in and performed admirably - arguably even better than Jones had all season with some fans wanting Zappe to be given more time as the starter.
