The Facts: NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday morning that former Patriots QB Brian Hoyer is set to visit the Jets, per a source informed of the situation.

Diehards Line: When GM Joe Douglas all but announced his plans to take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick -- presumably BYU's Zach Wilson -- he also suggested Gang Green was comfortable with youngsters James Morgan and Mike White as backup signal-callers. The comment at the moment seemed like Douglas was posturing. Now he's checking out a veteran candidate. Hoyer spent last season with New England, starting one game behind Cam Newton. After going undrafted out of Michigan State in 2009, Hoyer began his career in a QB room with Tom Brady for three seasons before beginning his nomadic journey around the NFL, which included stops in Arizona, Cleveland, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco, Indianapolis, and multiple returns to New England in between. Over the course of his 12 seasons, Hoyer has started 39 games. The most came between 2014 and 2015 when he started 13 games with Cleveland and nine with Houston, respectively.
