Patriots, Drake Maye Eye Offensive Growth for 2025

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is focusing on remaining a passer longer while scrambling in his second season, a shift coaches believe could enhance the team's offensive potential. Maye completed 66.6% of his passes for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns as a rookie and is now studying Tom Brady's approach while working with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to improve decision-making and deep-ball accuracy. The Patriots have strengthened their offense by signing receiver Stefon Diggs, drafting Kyle Williams, and bolstering the offensive line with Morgan Moses and Will Campbell. McDaniels is expected to design some runs for Maye but will emphasize further development as a pocket passer. Versatile cornerback Marcus Jones may also contribute as a secret weapon on offense, offering additional flexibility. With new head coach Mike Vrabel and an upgraded supporting cast, the Patriots are optimistic about beginning a new era of success.
