Ashton Grant, hired by Mike Vrabel to be the team’s quarterback coach, was introduced to fans at the Patriots draft party on Sunday.
Grant, who hails from New England, had spent last season with Vrabel in Cleveland where the two served as assistants.
Now, Grant is helping offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels coach Drake Maye, the Patriots franchise quarterback.
Grant told the crowd that former Patriots OC Alex Van Pelt and ex-QB coach TC McCartney, who he had worked with in Cleveland, had raved about Maye from afar.
“They were always blowing my phone up, talking to me about how awesome Drake Maye was as a rookie,” Grant said.
