A quarterback battle continues to brew in New England.
Veteran Jacoby Brissett beat out 2024 No. 3 pick Drake Maye for the starting role to begin the season but Maye made his first appearance during the final drive of the Patriots 24-3 loss to the New York Jets in Week 3.
Maye stated after the game that he will be ready when his time comes to be the Patriots' starting quarterback.
"I'll be ready when my name is called, when my number's called, to go out there and make some plays," Maye told reporters, according to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.. "I've been preparing like I'm the starter."
