Hope was on the minds of many Patriots fans after watching Drake Maye start as quarterback for the first time last Sunday.”I think it was a great showing out there,” Patriots fan Matt Pare said. “Unfortunately, it was still a loss, but it gives you hope for the future.”Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, was selected over Jacoby Brissett to be the starting quarterback for the Patriots ahead of last Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.”I think he’s better than Brissett,” Patriots fan Chris Skelley said. “I think he’s going to bring us home another ring. I think he’s the next ‘one”.In his first NFL start, Maye completed 20 of 33 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns, but at two interceptions and a fumble.”I’m excited,” Patriots fan Ryan McHugh said. “I think he’s a great player. I think if we develop around him, we’ll be a good team. So, hopefully, it’ll come in the near future.”Following the game on Sunday, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was also optimistic about his rookie quarterback.”I thought Drake made some good decisions out there,” Mayo said. “I thought he had some good reads. I thought he tried to get the ball out of his hands, and I thought he did a good job extending plays with his legs and picking up first downs.”Although last Sunday’s game ended in a 41-21 loss for the Patriots and there is a lot of improvement needed in other positions, for many fans, it was the best performance they had seen from the team all season.”That’s the main reason I was excited to get to go because I got to watch Drake Maye’s first start. I was so excited for that game,” said Jesse Nease, who is visiting from Tennessee and was at Sunday’s game. “As soon as he gets a team around him, an offensive line, some receivers, I think he’s going to be the real deal.”The Patriots head to London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday.
