FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The only quarterback on the Patriots' roster to have started a game for New England over the past two seasons is something of a forgotten man at this year's training camp. Bailey Zappe made six starts for the Patriots in 2023 and two as a rookie a year earlier. Now he's fighting for a roster spot, stuck behind veteran Jacoby Brissett and first-round draft pick Drake Maye on the depth chart. Zappe's competition for the No. 3 spot is another rookie, Joe Milton III. If Zappe hopes to remain a Patriot in September, the 25-year-old needs to demonstrate that he has more value and upside than Milton.
