In an league season where numerous teams are clawing their way back into contention, the sentiment in Foxboro is no different. A host of familiar faces with New England ties are returning, aiming to restore the Patriots to their former glory. The highly anticipated returns of Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels are certainly fueling optimism for their starting QB to have a breakout season.
âCoach does a great job of getting guys in matchups and letting them win. Iâm looking forward to doing that,â the former UNC standout said via the teamâs website. âI have to do my part of getting guys lined up, playing the right side [of the field], and just doing my part of taking whatâs open.â
Adding to the buzz, one of the leagueâs most promising young quarterbacks also opened up with the media about his current feelings. His response will undoubtedly be music to the ears of Patriots fans.

Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots warms up before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium on December 28, 2024 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
âIâm starting to really find a stride,â he said. âItâs all the same concepts in the league, but itâs different words, different verbiage. Itâs mostly the same guys running [routes], but just feeling out how they run it and timing when you get into different concepts. Itâs been good.â
