Bailey Zappe completes touchdown pass in pro debut
by Andersen Pickard | Patriots Correspondent | Thu, Aug 11th 10:34pm EDT
Patriots rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe made his pro debut during Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants. He replaced Brian Hoyer early in the contest and went on to complete 19 of 32 passes for 205 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also picked up an additional two yards on the ground. New England ultimately lost to New York on a field goal as time expired. The final score was 23-21.
Fantasy Impact:
Zappe remains listed at No. 3 on the depth chart and appears not very likely to win the backup job over reliable veteran Brian Hoyer. Still, Zappe's collegiate career showed plenty of promise, so the Patriots will give him a fair shot and, at the very least, look to carry him on their practice squad in 2022.
