NCAA Football: Senior Bowl Practice

With Tom Brady out the door after 20 years, what is Bill Belichick to do for a quarterback? Yes, he could look to Jarrett Stidham as a guy who at least understands his offense. Or, he could upset the applecart completely and go with a different kind of passing game. Let’s say the Patriots sign one Cameron Jerrell Newton in free agency, and select Love in the first round. What Belichick then has, as long as Newton’s healthy, is mobility and running flexibility he’s never had in at the quarterback position before. (Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports)
