The New England Patriots are entering familiar territory for the second time in four seasons.
They’ll have the task of developing a rookie quarterback, as they continue their search for a sustainable franchise option in the post-Tom Brady era.
They tried with Mac Jones in 2021. Now, they’ll try again with Drake Maye.
The Patriots failed to develop Jones, despite him having a strong rookie season under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. And then disaster struck after McDaniels left for a head coaching job in Las Vegas.
