Jerod Mayo offered a peek into what’s been going on with the Patriots’ quarterbacks at practice when he spoke with reporters on Friday.
In that peek, the Patriots coach also confirmed that Drake Maye has received 30 percent of the reps with the starting unit in practice since the preseason began.
“That’s definitely accurate. It’s not a secret,” Mayo told reporters when asked about the 70-30 split in reps between Jacoby Brissett and Maye. “We have a quarterback in the wings that needs to continue to develop. Normally, I would say the starter gets, let’s say, 95 percent of the reps and the backup doesn’t.
