Watching Drake Maye early in camp, it seems Bill Belichick nailed his draft night assessment. Now it’s all about how much Maye can progress.
Drake Maye's feet are restless. During these early days of training camp, the New England Patriots rookie quarterback is working on settling his feet in the pocket. With all that arm strength, he didn't always need his lower body to generate accuracy and power in college. In the NFL, he'll need to take control of his footwork to meet the league's best-in-the-world level of play. And that's why, even between plays, his feet are restless.
In this non-contact environment, the Patriots want Maye to go through his progression and elude pass-rushers to see how the play progresses downfield. It's all a matter of teaching points. 'I'm just trying to make it where I'm not missing the read or not necessarily missing the read, but not getting through the read as quickly as I need to out here more than one time in a row,' Maye said Sunday.
