The New England Patriots quarterback room is once again home to three tenants.

With the 234th pick in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected quarterback Behren Morton of Texas Tech.

With second-team All Pro Drake Maye cemented in place as New England ’s starter, the reserve role will now apparently fall upon Tommy DeVito, with the Pats’ release of veteran Josh Dobbs . Morton is expected to become the third quarterback on the depth chart heading into training camp.

Morton went 18-4 as a starter during his time at Texas Tech, throwing 71 touchdowns to just 28 interceptions. At 6-foot-2, 221 pounds, he is well-sized to hold up in the NFL. Though he does have a concerning injury history, Morton has the chance to be a solid developmental project in New England’s offensive system.
