The Patriots hope they’ve found their franchise quarterback in Drake Maye, but it might take some time before he emerges as the starter.
Speaking on NFL Network’s “The Insiders,” reporter Bridget Condon said Maye will definitely have an opportunity to get on the field. At the same time, Condon said, there’s no reason for New England to speed up Maye’s natural timeline.
Condon noted that Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and New England quarterback Jacoby Brissett had great success together with the Cleveland Browns in 2022. Brissett posted the best completion percentage and quarterback rating of his career that year.
