Stidham is no stranger to Foxboro, he was a backup for the Patriots for three seasons beginning in 2019.
“Stiddy was a good teammate, he did a good job and doing his job,” Anfernee Jennings said, Patriots linebacker. “I played against him in college too, like I said, we just have to do our job this week. I know they had the injury this week, but those guys wanna win just like we wanna win. So we gotta do a good job preparing, everybody’s ready to go, and get locked in.”
Offensive lineman Mike Onwenu was a teammate of Stidham’s, but if he’s got information for his coaches on Stidham’s strengths and weaknesses, he’s not sharing them.
“He’s a good player so, you know, I’m sure he’ll be ready for us,” Onwenu said. “Wish him the best and all that.”
