The New England Patriots have named Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback for the opening week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite a strong challenge from rookie Drake Maye, who was the third overall pick in this year's draft, head coach Jerod Mayo has opted for the veteran Brissett to lead the team at the start of the season. However, it is anticipated that Maye will take over the starting role sooner rather than later as he continues to develop.
