24-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
New England Patriots
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots drafted Morton in the seventh round, 234th overall. The 6-foot-2, 221-pound rookie out of Texas Tech is expected to begin his career as New England’s third-string QB behind Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito. Morton, who will turn 25 in January, posted a tidy 49:14 TD:INT over his last two years at Texas Tech, but he doesn’t stand out athletically, with average arm strength and 4.89 speed. He’s unlikely to see the field in any capacity during his rookie regular season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.53 million contract with the Patriots in May of 2026.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential Day 3 pick
QBFree Agent
April 19, 2026
Friday's seven-round mock draft from Chad Reuter of NFL.com has the Rams selecting Morton in the fifth round with the 157th pick.
ANALYSIS
Morton posted 49 touchdowns versus 14 interceptions over his last two years at Texas Tech while throwing for 6,015 yards over that span. The 6-foot-2 quarterback hasn't gotten much pre-draft hype and may wind up undrafted, but Reuter believes Morton could entice a team such as the Rams to select him on Day 3 as a developmental prospect.
