Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky has been impressed with what he’s seen from Drake Maye so far this preseason.
And it’s because of those strides made by the 21-year-old Maye this preseason that Orlovsky doesn’t want to entertain any talk of the Patriots starting their rookie QB in Week 1 of the upcoming NFL season.
Even though Jerod Mayo and Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt stressed multiple times last week that veteran Jacoby Brissett is currently the QB1 in New England, Maye has narrowed the gap in the ongoing quarterback competition thanks to two promising preseason performances against the Eagles and Commanders.
