Why Drake Maye is ‘perfect' for Alex Van Pelt's Patriots offense originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
It might be a while before Drake Maye gets to prove himself as the Patriots' starting quarterback. But there's evidence to suggest he'll be set up to succeed in New England.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft boasts a 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame, above-average mobility and one of the best arms in this year's rookie class. While he's still raw and had a tendency to make ill-advised throws at North Carolina, the hope is that New England can develop Maye into a franchise QB for years to come.
