It’s almost exactly one year since the New England Patriots head coach traded linebacker Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a third-round draft pick.

With Brady serving his Deflategate suspension at the beginning of last season, Garoppolo started the first two games of the year. Overall at the Patriots, Garoppolo recorded an average QB rating of 106.2 and completed 67% of his passes.
