New England Patriots quarterback Joshua Dobbs has shared an intriguing connection with fellow quarterback Drake Maye that centers around mentorship and the influence of former Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett. Having played together for the Cleveland Browns in 2022, Dobbs regards Brissett not only as a teammate but a mentor who provided invaluable support during Maye's rookie season. This relationship is set to continue, with Dobbs stepping into a backup role, bringing his experience from multiple NFL teams, including a stint with the San Francisco 49ers.

As Dobbs prepares for his role as a veteran presence for Maye, who is entering his second NFL season, the dynamics of this mentorship could influence the Patriots' QB development strategy. Unlike Brissett, who had to face early starting challenges, Dobbs will primarily support Maye, leveraging his 15 NFL starts should the need arise. This relationship may play a pivotal role in shaping the future success of the Patriots as they refine their quarterback strategy.
