Drake Maye is stepping up as the Patriots leader they desperately need

Drake Maye, Stefon Diggs, and many other Patriots' players understand that to compete with and beat the NFL's elite again, they have to put in work away from Foxborough. Both guys had strong minicamps, and with training camp on the horizon, they will be counted upon to be leaders of an offense seeking improvement.

It's becoming increasingly clear that this is Maye's team, and it will likely remain so for years to come, as was evident near Charlotte recently.

Maye and backup Josh Dobbs were joined by Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Hunter Henry, Kyle Williams, Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne and Rhamondre Stevenson to get some throwing in.
