New England Patriots QBs Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo split first-team reps at practice Thursday, May 26. Last year, Brady dominated the top-tier work.

Footballguys View: The team is wise to prepare Garoppolo for a starting role just in case Brady’s four-game suspension is upheld. Some dynasty owners are excited about Garoppolo’s upside, but we want to see him show more boldness as a pocket passer before we get too excited. In college, Garoppolo didn’t respond well to even mild pressure.
