Jacoby Brissett is eager to battle first-round pick Drake Maye for the starting quarterback job with the New England Patriots.
\"That\'s all out of my control, so I don\'t really worry about that. I\'m excited to have him on the team, and the other guys as well that we drafted and picked up. I think it\'s going to be good,\" Brissett said.
\"Competition brings out the best in all of us, so I\'m excited about that part.\"
Jerod Mayo has said that part of the reason the Patriots signed Brissett, 31, was to serve as a mentor, while also acknowledging that Brissett has started 48 career NFL games and is viewed by the coaching staff as worthy of the role.
Mayo added that the team\'s plan is to let competition determine who ultimately starts Week 1.
