Drake Maye has already showcased plenty of promise with his play on the field this season.
But it was the rookie quarterback’s emerging role as a leader for a rebuilding New England roster that has caught the eye of former Patriots Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman.
“I love Drake Maye,” Rob Gronkowski said during Fox’s pregame coverage on Sunday. “I love everything about him. … Just that aura around him. He’s a complete leader. He’s a complete quarterback out on the football field. He has that aura around him where the players like him, they like what he’s doing, they like how he prepares.
