When Mike Vrabel was hired by the New England Patriots, many thought it was because of returning to his old team. However, quarterback Drake Maye played a pivotal role in Vrabel taking the job.
Although the Patriots ended with a 4-13 record on the season, the potential with Maye is there. He threw for 2.276 yards, 15 touchdowns, and ten interceptions. He took over for Jacoby Brissett towards the beginning of the season and showed progression.
During an appearance on Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich, Vrabel called Maye “a large part of the reason” why he took the position in New England and said that he was excited to build an offense around a player with multifaceted skills.
