Former Michigan State quarterback Brian Hoyer signs with the New England Patriots

Hoyer is back with New England for the third time in his NFL career.

Brian Hoyer is back where it all began . . . again.

The former Michigan State signal caller has signed with the New England Patriots according to Jim McBride of the Boston Globe.

It will be Hoyer’s third stint with the Patriots after signing with the franchise as an undrafted rookie in 2009. Hoyer previously served as backup to former Patriot quarterback Tom Brady from 2009-2011 and 2078-2018. Hoyer never started a game in New England during his time there.

Hoyer was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday after spending just one year with the team. He has also spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, and the San Francisco 49ers during his 11-year NFL career.
