New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo confirmed on Friday that rookie quarterback Drake Maye still gets 30 percent of the first-team reps in practice, even though he's the backup behind Jacoby Brissett.
It's an unusual strategy that NFL analyst and former quarterback Chase Daniel isn't a fan of.
Daniel was a long-time veteran in the NFL. He played for seven teams in his 13-year career. He has experience as a backup quarterback and knows the dynamics of a quarterback room.
Drawing from his own experience, Daniel had a harsh take on the split approach by the Patriots' coaching staff.
