The New England Patriots got a first hand look at the double edge sword that comes with a mobile quarterback.
In their Week 8 victory over the New York Jets, Drake Maye’s legs were a difference maker early on. The quarterback totaled 46 yards on three scrambles, including a 17-yard touchdown to give New England a first quarter lead. But, one of those runs — a 18-yard scramble — led to the end of Maye’s day as a hit to his head resulted in the rookie being placed in concussion protocol.
While the injury has put Maye’s playing style in the spotlight, New England has no plans of diminishing one of Maye’s top strengths.
