Patriots third-round pick in 2016. Traded to Colts in 2017. Brissett arrived in New England as a third-round pick in 2016 buried deep on the depth chart. But with Tom Brady suspended, he was thrust into action in his second game after Garoppolo suffered a shoulder injury.
Brissett went 1-1 as a starter and generated some confidence as a young quarterback. But the following year, the Patriots wound up trading Brissett away to the Colts in exchange for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett.
After arriving in Indy, Brissett took over for an injured Andrew Luck, going 4-11 before going back to the bench. However, he was called upon again in 2019 after Luck announced his retirement, going 5-3 so far in his second stint as a starter.
