The New England Patriots seemingly have their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future and successor to Tom Brady in Drake Maye. That was evident after Maye shined in a 23-20 upset win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. The thing is, this came five years after Brady left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. But, better late than never.
One of the quarterbacks the Patriots tried to succeed Brady was Mac Jones, their 2021 first-round pick. There was promise in his rookie year, but his play regressed in New England so rapidly, he was out after three years.
