Since he was drafted third overall, there's been furious debate among New England Patriots fans regarding when Drake Maye should start, but former players largely have similar views on the topic.
It was tough for fans not to envy Jayden Daniels' breakout and the growing development of Caleb Williams with the Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears, respectively. "Why not us?" That was what some Patriots fans decried, but head coach Jerod Mayo stood firm through four weeks that Jacoby Brissett was the starter.
Rob Gronkowski and Drew Bledsoe were among former Patriots stars who agreed that Maye shouldn't be rushed into the spotlight.
