Alex Van Pelt preached patience on Tuesday when asked about when Drake Maye will be given the keys to New England’s offense.
“I think of it as a marathon over a sprint,” Van Pelt acknowledged. “You just don’t go out and run a marathon — you have to train properly for a marathon. It’s the same with a quarterback.
“There’s a process and we follow that process. We trust that process. And then you can’t just stick a guy out there and expect him to be successful without the proper training. So it is a process. We’re making moves in the right direction.
