The Patriots are 100% sure in who their starting quarterback will be for Week 1 of the season for the first time since 2022, as Drake Maye looks to build on his solid rookie season. Admittedly, he wasn't perfect in the Patriots' first preseason game: 3/5 for 12 yards, and a sub-40 PFF grade. Nonetheless, it's a certainty he'll be the starter barring injury.
Maye is the only overlap compared to 2024's QB room. With the departure of Jacoby Brissett in free agency and Joe Milton traded, the Patriots opted to add a new pair of quarterbacks to the mix.
