Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo has sensed a change in the vibes at Patriots practice this week, telling reporters that he’s like what he’s seen from rookie quarterback Drake Maye over the last few days.
“Good week of practice. I thought Drake went out there and performed well overall,” Mayo said. “Look, we’ve got to wait and see if it happens in the game, but he’s done a good job. I feel like there’s a renewed sense of energy throughout the team, and now it just comes down to Sunday, going out there and executing.”
Maye’s first start has been highly anticipated ever since the Patriots selected him with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
