The New England Patriots appear to have something special in their rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Through his first six NFL starts, the third-overall draft pick has already made big plays both through the air and on the ground. But with Maye still in the early stage of his development, the Patriots have yet to utilize their young QB's skill set with designed run plays. All of Maye's carries to this point have come on scrambles.
Protecting Maye this season makes perfect sense, but adding designed QB runs to the playbook would add another dimension to the Patriots offense.
