The Patriots are talking up a QB competition between rookie Drake Maye and veteran Jacoby Brissett, but how long can that really last?
Jacoby Brissett doesn't really stand a chance. The New England Patriots selected Drake Maye No. 3 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. They took him to be the face of their franchise. But the plan is, for now, not to rush him into action. It's something the Patriots made clear to Maye before even drafting him. 'They asked me in front of a bunch of coaches,' Maye told reporters.
Even when he's not ready, he'll make plays that will make him a tantalizing and exciting option for the starting lineup. The messaging isn't wrong either. The Patriots are smart to promote competition on a team that went 4-13 last season. They are smart to test Maye with a little adversity out of the gate. It is totally the right thing to say and do. But New England didn't just take Maye at third overall because he's a project.
