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’s rookie season was undeniably promising. The 22-year-old out of North Carolina completed 66.6% of his passes for 2276 yards in 12 games, tossing 15 touchdowns to 10 interceptions with a lackluster supporting cast. Maye also ran for 421 yards and 22 first downs, and was a late addition to the Pro Bowl games.

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.”
