Guys, I'm really sorry about yesterday. I actually feel bad that I posted such a horrible player. So today, instead of giving you another punter, let's go with a quarterback that the NFL has become very familiar with, especially lately. #8 - Brian Hoyer, QB That's right, the STARTING QUARTERBACK for the CLEVELAND BROWNS. You know what that means? Johnny Football is not starting. Hoyer was undrafted in 2009. The Michigan St. product assumed the role of clipboard holder for the Patriots, getting playing time only when Tom Brady had already put up 137 points on the opponent. However, when he played, unlike Ryan Mallett, he actually looked pretty good, which made him a surprise cut before the 2012 season. After bouncing around the league a little bit, Hoyer appeared to find a home in Cleveland, until they drafted Manziel with the 22nd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Coming off an ACL tear in 2013, Hoyer still was able to win the starting job from the rookie this preseason. How long will that last? Who knows. But Brian Hoyer is your best #8 for the Patriots, despite having only 42 passing attempts with the team. Follow @SamPericolo for the latest on sam-pericolo.weebly.com
