From Jacoby Brissett’s perspective, everyone in the Patriots’ quarterback room is eager to emerge as the starter.
He believes that type of competition is healthy and could pay dividends long term.
“Honestly, everybody wants to be the guy,” Brissett told reporters. “Everybody’s competing to be the guy. That’s what you want. If none of us wanted to play, then our room would be messed up.”
He said the organization would be “in bad hands” if that weren’t the case.
At the same time, the veteran Brissett said he hopes to serve as a mentor to the younger players on the team – much like the older Patriots did for him in his first stint.
