New England Patriots fans have waited for months to see the Mike Vrabel era lift off, and nothing signaled that time arriving more than seeing second-year quarterback Drake Maye take the field for the first time at 2025 training camp on Wednesday.
The crowd could be heard cheering as the 2024 first-round draft pick jogged out on the field in shorts and a red jersey for the team's first practice.
There are significantly higher expectations for the Patriots than there were last year under first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, and it all hinges on Maye making a Year 2 leap as an NFL player.
