What Jerod Mayo said about how Drake Maye fits into the Patriots’ QB competition

Now that Drake Maye is officially a Patriot, there are questions about whether or not New England should play him next year.

The Patriots clearly had a need at the quarterback position last season.

They’ve signed Jacoby Brissett, whose role is expected to be a bridge between now and when Maye is ready.

The Patriots tied for the lowest-scoring offense in the NFL last season, and it’s unclear whether they are in a position to properly support a rookie quarterback right away.

During a recent appearance on WEEI’s Greg Hill Show, Mayo acknowledged that he’s not quite sure yet whether Maye is ready to be a Day 1 starter in the NFL.
