New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye worked hard to build relationships with his teammates last year, as he adjusted to life in the NFL.

Mass Live's Karen Guregian wrote about the extent Maye went to build bonds with his teammates as a rookie in the locker room.

Guregian wrote:

"Maye was mindful of those relationships as a rookie. He wanted to build bonds around the locker room, so he made a conscious effort to sit with different teammates during lunch and send texts when they were away from Gillette Stadium."

Being a franchise quarterback is more than just about throwing touchdown passes.
