Drake Maye Adjusts as Patriots Quarterback

Drake Maye, the New England Patriots' rookie quarterback, has shown remarkable mobility and playmaking ability in his first four starts, leading all NFL players in yards per carry. However, despite his rushing success with 209 yards and a touchdown, head coach Jerod Mayo is cautious about designing runs for him, particularly after Maye's recent concussion. Maye has highlighted the need to improve his decision-making and protect the football, having recorded six turnovers, including three in his latest game against the Titans. Defensive coordinator Eric Washington of the Chicago Bears acknowledged Maye's dual-threat capabilities while preparing for their upcoming matchup. Maye's performance has been marked by flashes of brilliance, alongside typical rookie struggles, as he navigates the complexities of the NFL. As he faces the Bears, Maye aims to reduce his turnovers and enhance his ball security.
