Drake Maye got a trial run of regular-season action Thursday, playing on the final drive of the Patriots’ blowout 24-3 loss to the Jets.
The rookie quarterback showed some promise during his lone drive as well. Maye led the Patriots to the Jets’ 7-yard line before they opted to let the clock run out following a sack.
As that was the first real game action that Maye’s seen in his career, he’s apparently shown good signs of development behind the scenes, too. Patriots right tackle Michael Onwenu believes that Maye’s decision-making has improved the most out of any area in his game since he arrived in Foxborough in April.
