Through four weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Patriots and Jerod Mayo have resisted calls to appoint rookie Drake Maye as the team’s starting quarterback.
Those calls have only grown louder this week, given Jacoby Brissett’s two-turnover performance Sunday against the Niners and the overall dysfunction present on New England’s offensive unit.
But count Jets quarterback and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers among those who believe that Mayo is making the right call by keeping Maye on the sideline.
Speaking on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Rodgers commended Mayo for not putting Maye in a potentially perilous situation at this stage of his development.
