Things are looking a bit different for the New England Patriots in 2024, as they won't have Bill Belichick putting together the roster or coaching the team up for the first time since the turn of the century.
With this new era in New England, the Patriots used their third overall pick in this year's draft on North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, who is inspiring hope in the fan base after some poor performances at the position in recent years from Bailey Zappe, Mac Jones and Cam Newton.
It's unknown when Maye will take the field for New England for the first time, as Jacoby Brissett is expected to be the Week 1 starter, but the first-round rookie isn't the only new player fans should be excited about suiting up for the Patriots in 2024.
