Jacoby Brissett as a Back Up QB
Several online media sites have rated Jacoby Brissett as one of the best, if not the best, back up quarterbacks in the NFL. The Cowboys are signing Andy Dalton as a possible backup to Dak Prescott who has renewed interest in the position. The NFL Web site rates Brissett as the league’s top backup. The Bleacher Report rates him number 4, while the Pro Football weekly Web site has him as the No. 2 backup. All sites consider him a strength that the Colts should hold on to in 2020.
