Drake Maye will start his rookie season with the New England Patriots on the bench, however head coach Jerod Mayo has cleared up one little bit of confusion in regards to the quarterback’s position.
Jacoby Brissett, who was named New England’s beginning quarterback, suffered a shoulder harm throughout the crew’s preseason finale. After that sport, Mayo was requested if Maye can be the Patriots’ Week 1 beginning quarterback if Brissett had been unavailable. At that time, Mayo was not ready to commit to Maye because the No. 2 quarterback.
“I want to sit right here and say 100% he’s our second-best quarterback on our roster proper now. …I’m unsure till I watch the movie,” Mayo mentioned on the time.
That, in fact, was shocking provided that Brissett and Maye had been supposedly in competitors for the beginning job all offseason. However on Monday, Mayo made it clear that Maye is the following man up.
“After we speak about growing a man like Drake Maye, that may be a steady course of,” Mayo mentioned. “If Jacoby was to get injured within the first week, 1000% Drake can be the following man in because the No. 2 quarterback on our roster.”
