Now in Baltimore, the well-traveled Brissett prepares to fill in for another star quarterback

(AP) — Jacoby Brissett's next challenge is to fill in for a two-time MVP in Baltimore.If anyone should be used to that assignment, it's Brissett.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Jacoby Brissett is preparing to step into the shoes of another renowned player, two-time Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson. If this assignment is not foreign to Brissett, it is due to his own track record of filling in for star quarterbacks. The 33-year-old journeyman has experienced this role multiple times throughout his 11-year NFL career.

Ravens coach Jesse Minter expressed confidence in Brissett's ability to operate the offense at a successful level, praising his maturity and leadership qualities. Brissett's versatility has been a key factor in his long-term NFL career, as he has started 73 games often in place of high-profile quarterbacks.

In 2024, Brissett has once again found himself starting the first eight games for the Cardinals before being traded. Despite the challenges, Brissett remains focused on keeping the Ravens competitive for a potential playoff run. He acknowledges the emotional toll of switching teams frequently but emphasizes the importance of staying focused and adaptable.
