After a mostly overlooked performance on day one of training camp, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had a much more exciting showing on Thursday, despite the drills he was working through not being the most thrilling for onlookers.
It was the first real example of Josh McDaniels' return to Foxboro, as the offense prioritized getting the football out quickly and taking what you can get on the play. Maye impressed with his quickness and efficiency, with just one incompletion, which was actually a fumbled snap, ending the day 14/15 receptions.
ESPN's Mike Reiss credited the second-year quarterback for his performance and mentioned the importance of the drill implemented by McDaniels as a way to cut down on the interceptions that plagued Maye's rookie season.
