Patriots rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still adjusting to his new status as Tom Brady's backup. It was clear Garoppolo won the job after New England traded Ryan Mallett to Houston.
"It hasn't really sunk in," Garoppolo, a second-round pick, told ESPN.com.
"I feel confident, but I have a long way to go still. I'm still a rookie, still have a lot to learn, the whole playbook, defenses, everything."
