When Mike Vrabel took the Patriots’ head-coaching job earlier this year, he was clear that Drake Maye’s ability to handle the on-field responsibilities of a quarterback were a big reason for his decision.
Maye’s skills weren’t enough to win games on their own, howerver, and the Patriots have made moves this offseason to help him be more productive during the 2025 season. They drafted tackle Will Campbell, running back TreVeyon Henderson, wide receiver Kyle Williams, and center Jared Wilson with their first four picks in the draft and they acquired players like wide receiver Stefon Diggs, tackle Morgan Moses, and wide receiver Mack Hollins earlier in the offseason in an attempt to build up the unit around the quarterback.
