Drake Maye

The Athletic’s Chad Graff writes that he “get[s] the sense that” Jerod Mayo and Patriots players “feel [Drake] Maye is ready.”

“But what concerns the staff is the group surrounding the quarterback. And that’s a big reason why Brissett remains the team’s starter,” Graff adds. “I’d expect [Maye] to get the go-ahead sometime in November.” The Patriots have lost three in a row and not put up much of an offensive fight in any game to date, but it makes sense that they’re slow-playing putting Maye in given, in particular, how bad the offensive line has played this year.
