Drake Maye might technically be near the end of his second season with the New England Patriots, but he didn't get his first start as a rookie until Week 6, so he's only been a starter in 25 games so far, just over the 17 games of a regular season. So there is a lot still for him to learn and overcome in his young career, and he might get a good dose of that against the Giants this week.
Although they come to Foxboro with a 2-10 record, they will have their rookie starting quarterback back in the lineup after missing last week's game due to a concussion, and that certainly puts the Patriots' defense on notice.
