Report: Rookie QB for the New England Patriots Discusses Sunday Night Performance……
the New England Patriots’ last preseason game of 2024, they were defeated by the Washington Commanders, 20-10. The team witnessed some very positive signals despite the loss, most notably from Drake Maye, the third overall pick and rookie quarterback. The young gunslinger demonstrated the arm talent and agility that have made him such a highly regarded prospect by playing the best game of the preseason thus far.
Maye remarked, “Being outside felt good.” “I believe the main issue is that we are offensively harming ourselves by stopping drives with penalties. I need to probably get us out of this scrum more quickly. Apart from that. It was simple things like that that made me snap on the ground. We have to tidy up, but it’s also an opportunity for us to learn and prepare for the time when things start counting.” Maye had his finest drive of the game on the opening possession, going 5 of 6 for 71 yards and a touchdown. He also talked specifically about the first drive. “I believe the men were just going about their business. Executing the plays we drill each week is, in my opinion, the most important thing, he stated.
