1st Down: Stidham learned from the best

Some of the most successful people in their selected professions are successful because they learned from the very best in the business.

Jarrett Stidham had the honor of learning from the GOAT (greatest of all time) for all of last season. He couldn’t have had a better teacher than Tom Brady, and picking his brain for the entire season gives Stidham a distinct advantage.

He learned how to read defenses, change the play at the line of scrimmage, look off defenders, etc. — all aspects to being a great quarterback that Brady excels in.

Stidham also learned how to conduct himself on and off the field, dealing with the media and the Patriot Way. He also learned the championship pedigree from Brady.

Stidham learned a lot from Brady, but now he has to take those lessons to the field and be successful in 2020.
