Tom Brady’s departure has created a massive hole on the New England Patriots’ quarterback depth chart, leaving 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham and five-year veteran journeyman Cody Kessler.
Stidham currently has the top spot, with Kessler behind him.
The expectation is that a third quarterback will be added by training camp, which is standard operating procedure for NFL teams.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Stidham, who initially went to college at Baylor before transferring to Auburn, was selected No. 133 overall in 2019. Stidham beat out veteran Brian Hoyer last preseason for the No. 2 job behind Brady.
He had the best preseason of any rookie quarterback in Belichick’s 20-year tenure, going 61-of-90 for 731 yards, with four touchdowns and an interception.
Stidham turns 24 on Aug. 8 and is considered mature beyond his years.
