Drake Maye had a year recruited from top to bottom for the patriots in 2024.
But the organization made important movements to set up the overall choice n ° 3 of 2024 for more success in 2025 – in particular by bringing Josh McDaniels back to be the team’s offensive coordinator under the head coach Mike Vrabel.
At a press conference Thursday, Maye told journalists that it was “brilliant” to have McDaniels.
“I think his way – he was an attacking coordinator and head coach,” said Maye, via Mark Daniels de Masslive.com. “”It does it at a high level. The thing works. The kind of evidence is in pudding. He has resulted in a lot of different guys. He led to the best to do so.
“So, it’s pretty cool to look at the old things of Tom (Brady), and to see how he does. A lot of different guys play at a high level in the offensive and not only Tom. So it was cool to look and learn the ways and learn the ins and outs.”
Maye noted that McDaniels was “great” to ask what he likes, be it plays, New England ran during the recruit of Maye or things that McDaniels has led in the past.
“I think it will be good for us because we can do a lot,” said Maye. “I think it will be a challenge to discover exactly what is or will be our business. This is the fun part. It’s the chess match. The coach is great to find matches.
“I can’t wait to start the match plan. I know it’s far away, but I receive the itching a bit now. ”
Maye should also have more responsibility in the field in this new system, which he adopts.
“The ball is in my hands, I think you want it,” said Maye. “I hold the pin last – that’s what they say. That’s what you want.
“I receive the sight of the sight there.… The best view of the defense. You are the one who should know where everyone is, what everyone does.
In 2024, Maye completed 67% of its passes for 2,276 yards with 15 affected and 10 interceptions.
