Breer: Drake Maye ‘closing in' on being Patriots' best QB originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
It's a matter of when, not if, Drake Maye becomes the New England Patriots' starting quarterback this season.
That's what Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reiterated Sunday morning on NBC Sports Boston's Patriots Pregame Live, adding that the rookie quarterback continues to make strides behind the scenes. According to Breer, Maye has specifically developed one skill that he'll need if he takes over as QB1 ahead of current starter Jacoby Brissett.
"His progress has been steady in all the areas we've talked about: footwork, understanding what he's looking at with defenses," Breer said Sunday, as seen in the video player above.
