The Patriots selected Rohan Davey with the 117th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2002 NFL draft.

The Louisiana State University product appeared in seven games while serving as Tom Brady's backup for three seasons, two of which ended with New England winning the Super Bowl.

During the spring of 2004, the Patriots allowed Davey to play in NFL Europe. Davey starred for the Berlin Thunder, leading them to a World Bowl title.

Davey was released by the Patriots in August 2005 and he signed with the Arizona Cardinals the next month. After being released by the Cardinals in August 2006, Davey then played three seasons in the Arena Football League before the league went bankrupt in 2009. After a five-year hiatus, Davey returned to the reincarnated Arena Football League in 2013 for one more season.

Now 45, Davey is currently the head football coach at Ascension Christian High School in Gonzales, Louisiana.

The Patriots selected Kliff Kingsbury with the 201st overall pick in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL draft.

An NCAA record-setting quarterback under Mike Leach at Texas Tech, Kingsbury spent his rookie season on injured reserve but still received a Super Bowl ring.

Kingsbury was waived by the Patriots in September 2004. He spent time on the practice squads of the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos before being signed by the New York Jets in September 2005. He appeared in one game for the Jets in November 2005.

In the spring of 2006, Kingsbury played in NFL Europe before being signed by the Buffalo Bills. He spent training camp with the Bills before being cut ahead of the 2006 NFL season. He played in the Canadian Football League in 2007.

Kingsbury ended his playing career and started coaching football in 2008. He made a name for himself as the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M in 2012, when he coached Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.

He became Texas Tech's head football coach in 2013 and served in that role for six seasons.

Kingsbury was hired to be the University of Southern California's offensive coordinator in December 2018, but he was hired as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals the following month. He coached the Cardinals for four seasons before he was fired in January 2023.

In April 2023, Kingsbury rejoined USC as an offensive analyst and worked closely with quarterback Caleb Williams — the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft.

The Washington Commanders hired the 44-year-old Kingsbury in February to serve as their offensive coordinator.

The Patriots selected Matt Cassel with the 230th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL draft, despite the fact he never started a game at quarterback in four seasons at the University of Southern California. Cassel started one game at H-back as a freshman, but he backed up two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks: Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.

Cassel appeared in 14 games over his first three seasons with the Patriots, but he was thrust into the spotlight in the 2008 season opener after Tom Brady took a hit to his left knee in the first quarter that tore his ACL and MCL.

After having not started a game at quarterback since high school, Cassel started the final 15 games of the 2008 season for the Patriots. New England missed the playoffs despite finishing with an 11-5 record. Cassel threw for a career-high 3,693 yards in 2008 to go along with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

In February 2009, the Patriots traded Cassel to the Kansas City Chiefs. He made one Pro Bowl in four seasons with the Chiefs before being released in March 2013.

Cassel then played in six more NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings (2013-14), Buffalo Bills (2015), Dallas Cowboys (2015), Tennessee Titans (2016-17) and Detroit Lions (2018). In 14 NFL seasons, he appeared in 107 regular-season games and started 81 of them.

The 41-year-old now works as an NFL analyst.

The Patriots selected Kevin O'Connell with the 94th overall pick in the third round of the 2008 NFL draft.

The San Diego State product appeared in two games during his rookie season, but he was released by the Patriots in August 2009. O'Connell was quickly signed by the Detroit Lions and then traded to the New York Jets in a matter of days.

O'Connell was then on the Jets roster for the next three seasons, but he did not appear in a game. In the summer of 2012, he was signed by the San Diego Chargers but released during the preseason.

In February 2015, O'Connell was hired by the Cleveland Browns to be their quarterbacks coach and he served as an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers (2016), Washington Redskins (2017-19) and Los Angeles Rams (2020-21).

O'Connell, 38, was hired to lead the Minnesota Vikings in February 2022 after helping the Rams win the Super Bowl as their offensive coordinator. He is entering his third season as head coach of the Vikings.

The Patriots selected Zac Robinson with the 250th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL draft.

Robinson was cut by the Patriots after the 2010 preseason, but the rookie was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad shortly thereafter. He was signed to Seattle's 53-man roster in November 2010, but he was waived just days later and quickly scooped up by the Detroit Lions.

After the Lions released him in September 2011, Robinson was signed to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad and was on their practice squad for two seasons. An injury derailed his season in 2013 and the Bengals released him in May 2014.

Robinson began an NFL coaching career in February 2019, when he was hired by the Los Angeles Rams as an assistant. He was a coach on the Rams team that won Super Bowl 56 and afterwards, he was elevated to the dual roles of pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach when Kevin O'Connell was hired as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.

The 37-year-old was hired to be the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons in February.

The Patriots selected Ryan Mallett with the 74th overall pick in the third round of the 2011 NFL draft.

The University of Arkansas product appeared in four games over three seasons with the Patriots.

Mallett was traded to the Houston Texans in August 2014 and appeared in three games that season, including his first two NFL starts. But he did suffer a season-ending injury in Week 12.

During the 2015 season, Mallett battled with former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer, an undrafted free agent, for the Texans' starting quarterback job. Houston released Mallett in October, but he was signed by the Baltimore Ravens in December after their top two quarterbacks were sidelined by injuries. He started Baltimore's final two games of the season.

Mallett played in six more games with the Ravens over the next two seasons. He became a free agent in March 2018, but he was not signed by an NFL team.

He began coaching high school football in his home state of Arkansas in 2020 and was named the head coach at White Hall High School in 2022.

In June 2023, Mallett drowned at a beach in the Florida Panhandle. He was 35 years old.

The Patriots selected Jimmy Garoppolo with the 62nd overall pick in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft.

The Eastern Illinois University product played in 17 games with the Patriots over three seasons, including two starts. Garoppolo started the first two games of the 2016 while Tom Brady served his four-game Deflategate suspension.

Garoppolo was the backup quarterback for two Super Bowl championship teams. In October 2017, the Patriots traded him to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2018 second-round draft pick. He earned a five-year contract worth a maximum of $137.5 million after his first season with San Francisco.

In six seasons with the 49ers, Garoppolo started 55 of the 57 games he appeared in and helped San Francisco reach a Super Bowl and an NFC championship game. He did suffer three injuries during his time with the Niners that prematurely ended his season, including in 2022.

Garoppolo signed a three-year, $67.5 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders in March 2023, but he was benched by Week 9 of the 2023 season.

In March, the 32-year-old signed with the Los Angeles Rams to be the backup to Matthew Stafford. Garoppolo will be suspended for the first two games of the season for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the policy violation is related to Garoppolo using a prescribed medication without having a valid therapeutic use exemption from the league.

The Patriots selected Jacoby Brissett with the 91st overall pick in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft.

The North Carolina State product appeared in three games as a rookie and started in Weeks 3 and 4 for the Patriots in 2016 while Tom Brady served his four-game Deflategate suspension.

The Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl during Brissett's rookie season. But before the start of the 2017 season, New England traded him to the Indianapolis Colts for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett.

With Colts star quarterback Andrew Luck sidelined by an injury, Brissett started 15 of 16 games in his first season with Indianapolis. Brissett's playing time fluctuated over the next three seasons: playing in four games in 2018; starting 15 games in 2019 after Luck abruptly retired; and appearing in 11 games with no starts in 2020.

Brissett became a free agent and signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. He appeared in 11 games and started five during the 2021 season as Miami's 2020 first-round pick, Tua Tagovailoa, struggled with injuries.

In March 2022, Brissett signed with the Cleveland Browns for one season. He appeared in 16 games and started 11 for the Browns as Deshaun Watson served an 11-game suspension due to sexual misconduct allegations.

Brissett played for the Washington Commanders last season and appeared in three games.

The 31-year-old rejoined the Patriots when he signed a one-year deal in March.

The Patriots selected Danny Etling with the 219th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft.

The Louisiana State University product was waived by the Patriots in September 2018 but signed to the team's practice squad the next day. New England won the Super Bowl during Etling's rookie season.

Etling tried to make the Patriots as a wide receiver during training camp in 2019, but he was released during the preseason.

The Atlanta Falcons quickly signed Etling and moved him back to quarterback. He spent nearly the entire 2019 season on the practice squad save for Week 8, when he was the Falcons' backup quarterback following an injury to starter Matt Ryan.

Etling was waived by the Falcons in August 2020 but claimed off waivers by the Seattle Seahawks and spent the 2020 season on their practice squad.

The Seahawks waived Etling in August 2021 and he spent a few weeks of the preseason with the Minnesota Vikings before being released. After a brief stint on a Canadian Football League team's practice roster, Etling spent the rest of the 2021 season on the practice squads of the Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Etling spent the 2022 season on Green Bay's practice squad but was unable to get past training camp with the Packers, who released him in August 2023.

The 29-year-old is now playing quarterback for the United Football League's Michigan Panthers.

The Patriots selected Jarrett Stidham with the 133rd overall pick in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft.

The Auburn University product appeared in three games as a rookie in 2019, which wound up being Tom Brady's final season with the Patriots.

Stidham was unable to win New England's starting quarterback job in 2020, which went to former NFL MVP Cam Newton, who signed with the Pats in July. Stidham did appear in five games that season.

After undergoing offseason back surgery, Stidham was shelved to start the 2021 season and was not brought onto the Patriots' active roster until midway through the season. He did not ultimately get any playing time in 2021.

The Patriots traded Stidham to the Las Vegas Raiders in May 2022. He appeared in five games and started the final games of the 2022 season in favor of Derek Carr, which signaled an end to Carr's time with the Raiders.

Stidham became a free agent in March 2023 and signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Denver Broncos. He appeared in three games last season and started the final two games in place of Russell Wilson, which signaled that his time in Denver had come to an end.

The 27-year-old Stidham is one of just two quarterbacks who are on the Broncos roster as of Wednesday, April 17.

The Patriots selected Mac Jones with the 15th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft, becoming the first quarterback New England had drafted in the first round since Drew Bledsoe, who was chosen No. 1 overall in 1993.

Jones started all 17 of the Patriots' games during his rookie season, leading the team to a 10-7 record and a playoff appearance. The University of Alabama product was also named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate.

In 2022, Jones suffered an injury late in the third game of the season that caused him to miss the next three weeks. He started the final 11 games of the season, but his production regressed under the coaching of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

There were high hopes when the Patriots brought back former offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien to help Jones rebound in his third season. But New England started the 2023 season with a 2-9 record and Jones was pulled from multiple games.

Jones did not play in the final six games of last season and was even demoted to third-string quarterback in the final game of 2023.

In March, Jones was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round draft pick. The 25-year-old, who is from Jacksonville, Florida, will likely backup Jaguars starter Trevor Lawrence, who was drafted 14 spots ahead of Jones in 2021 with the No. 1 pick.

The Patriots selected Mac Jones with the 137th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft.

The Western Kentucky University product appeared in four games with the Patriots as a rookie, including two starts.

When Mac Jones was sidelined by an injury, Zappe did not see the field until veteran backup Brian Hoyer was injured during the first game of Jones' absence. Zappe then started the next two games and led the Patriots to victory both times. After Jones struggled in his first game back from injury, Zappe relieved him and provided a spark. But Zappe struggled in the second half of that game, a blowout loss to the Chicago Bears.

Zappe struggled during the 2023 preseason and wound up being waived on roster cut day. But he wound up clearing waivers and the Patriots signed him to their practice squad. Zappe was then signed to New England's 53-man roster the day before the season opener.

Last season, Zappe wound up relieving Jones in four of the first 11 games of the season, including the entire second half of the Patriots' 10-7 loss to the New York Giants.

Zappe started the final six games of the 2023 season and the Patriots went 2-4 in those games, brining his record as an NFL starter to 4-4.

On April 26, the second day of the NFL draft, Zappe will turn 25 years old.
