Patriots’ Jerod Mayo Shares Big Update On Starting QB Decision

Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett?

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo made his decision, but didn’t share it Wednesday.

Mayo met with reporters Wednesday, stating that he made a choice between Brissett and Maye but has not shared the news with the team.

Can he share it with us? Nope.

"I'm gonna talk to the individual players tomorrow," Mayo said, per team-provided video. "I'm gonna have a team meeting tomorrow and then I'm gonna get it to you guys."

Mayo kept his cards close to the vest, but did offer some insight into his choice, hinting that Brissett likely will receive the nod over his rookie teammate early in the season.

"I think it's important to remember what's good for the team today may not be good for the team weeks down the line," Mayo said. "The challenge is, you want to win every single game now, but also we're trying to build something special here."

Mayo previously stated Maye had performed better than Brissett, but with questions about the supporting cast, it wouldn't be a surprise to see New England keep the rookie sidelined until things get figured out.

The Patriots will practice Wednesday, with first- and second-team reps likely continuing to be divvied up as they have been throughout the summer. Mayo will then have a few remaining hours with his secret before sharing it with the world Thursday.
