Patriots OC Leaves Door Open for Drake Maye to Land Starting QB Job [Video]

The New England Patriots are one of the teams that selected a quarterback early in the 2024 NFL Draft, as they took form UNC quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 3 overall pick. Despite Maye going so high in the draft, he is not a lock to become the starter for the team.

Longtime veteran Jacoby Brissett is the presumed starter, but the Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has stated that Maye has been impressing through training camp.

Van Pelt spoke to Boston Herald’s Zack Cox about the progress of Maye, stating, “(Maye has) taken steps forward every single day, and that’s the big thing,” Van Pelt said. “There’s no regression. He’s taking what he’s learned from the previous practices and applying it to the next practice. He’s been really impressive, the last few weeks especially.”
