Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye is a project, and although the early indications are that he's taking well to coaching in New England, he's unlikely to be QB1 for the Patriots in Week One.
Jacoby Brissett is a -300 favorite to be the Patriots' Week One starter. Maye is a +220 underdog, via DraftKings.com.
Still, Maye’s improvement from the start of rookie minicamp in May to the end of offseason practices a month later was noticeable, according to Tom Curran of NBCSportsBoston.com. Maye's footwork, timing and accuracy all got better as he worked with the Patriots' coaching staff.
