New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye is likely to spend at least "several weeks" backing up Jacoby Brissett before he earns his first NFL start, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday.
"As far as when he's gonna play, they want to put him in a position to succeed, and they also are not gonna put him out there unless he is the guy that gives the team the best chance to win," Rapoport said about Maye on NFL Game Day. "That means they're gonna make sure that the offensive line is good enough to put him out there, the skill position group, it's all set for Maye to come in right away and have success.
