The New England Patriots quarterback situation has been the biggest topic of discussion surrounding this team over the past few months. During the offseason, the team traded Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, signed Jacoby Brissett in free agency, and used the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft on Drake Maye.
As is always the case when you use one of the top picks in the draft on a quarterback, there's pressure on the team to immediately start him. Typically if you are using the third overall pick on a quarterback, you feel pretty good about their prospects when it comes to becoming a star, and there's never been any indication that that isn't the way the Patriots feel about Maye.
