New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is living a lifelong dream. It all started with him being the No. 3 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft to taking over as the starting quarterback for the Patriots.

Drake Maye is more than familiar with his new offensive coordinator. When the quarterback came to New England last year, he dove into his new playbook but also watched game film from past Patriots seasons. As it turns out, those film sessions will come in handy this season when Maye is coached by Josh McDaniels for the first time.

The Patriots also brought Josh McDaniels back to New England for his third stint as the franchise's offensive coordinator. He'll work closely with Maye, and that's another challenge that the quarterback is excited about.

I think the biggest thing is he’s been a head coach, and he knows what it’s like. So (I’m) excited to get up to New England and get things going.”

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has already spoken to newly-hired coach Mike Vrabel.

"We've got a great fan base and we’ll figure it out." The post Drake Maye credited two mentors during rookie season, says he’s spoken with Mike Vrabel appeared first on Boston.com.
