Drake Maye isn't your typically backup quarterback, so the New England Patriots aren't treating him like one.
CBS' Evan Washburn gave some insight into New England's plan amid the club's season-opening win over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday, revealing Maye will receive "30% of the first-team reps" during practice sessions throughout the season.
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was asked about the report Friday, and did everything but deny it.
"That's definitely accurate. It's no secret. We have a quarterback in the wings that needs to continue to develop," Mayo said, per team-provided video.
