Drake Maye is being more vocal and it’s already paying off as he prepares for Year 3 with Patriots
Maye completed 11 of 11 throws in team drills and connected repeatedly with Brown as the Patriots work to deepen their passing-game timing.
On Friday, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed all 11 of his passes during full-team drills and beat star cornerback Christian Gonzalez three times in a dominant practice session.
After struggling early in camp to sync with new wide receiver A.J. Brown, Maye has found rhythm since padded practices began Thursday, remaining in "constant conversation" to refine routes and timing.
A crowded receiver room with seven players competing for five or six roster spots intensifies competition, with Maye emphasizing the balanced philosophy: "It can be anybody any given day."
Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito noted Maye's increased vocal confidence in his second year, while Coach Mike Vrabel previously indicated expectations for the quarterback's continued progression with teammates.
Entering his third season, Maye seeks to build on his 2025 campaign where he completed 72% of his passes for 4,394 yards, integrating new talent while maintaining offensive momentum.
FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts, USA (AP) — Drake Maye played the best American football of his young NFL career during his first season working with New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
