Adam Vinatieri Believes Jacoby Brissett Is ‘A Damn Good Quarterback’

This isn’t the first time Adam Vinatieri has witnessed a talented young quarterback replace a seasoned veteran during his 23-year NFL career.

And just like Tom Brady’s ascent to stardom after the New England Patriots lost Drew Bledsoe in 2001, Vinatieri seems to believe Colts second-string-turned-starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett will do just fine filling Andrew Luck’s shoes for Indianapolis.

The 29-year-old Luck announced his retirement from the league over the weekend, thrusting Brissett into the spotlight. But Vinatieri has all the confidence in the world in the 26-year-old signal-caller.

“Jacoby is no slouch. He’s a damn good quarterback,” Vinatieri said Tuesday, per The Athletic’s Zak Keefer.

We certainly agree with that notion.
