The New England Patriots added a potential new backup at No. 234 in Behren Morton, a 6-foot-2 quarterback who paired an 80.9 PFF Passing Grade with the “big-game” processing to lead Texas Tech to 26 wins as a starter. Morton demonstrated a 22-to-6 TD-to-INT ratio in 2025 while flashing elite velocity—verified by an official 61-mph throw velocity at the Combine—that ranks among the highest ever recorded for the position.

In dynasty Superflex formats, Morton can be considered a late round flier as he competes for a backup role with Tommy DeVito behind Drake Maye in Foxboro.
