Second in points per game last season; added A.J. Brown and Romeo Dobbs, improved offensive line; benefits from positive game scripts and short fields that made passing attack efficient. Rushing efficiency dipped from 7.8 to 4.4 yards per carry but the source expects bounce-back in mobility. Described as very safe option with league-winner upside; ceiling depends on A.J. Brown's camp performance and connection development.

The Patriots' starting quarterback stacked a second straight strong practice on Friday, completing 19 of 21 combined pass attempts in 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s, with his lone incompletions being by choice (one throwaway in 7s, another in 11s). Maye impressed by spreading the ball around well and making multiple highlight-reel throws each day, including a 7-on-7 touchdown to Romeo Doubs over Christian Gonzalez's outstretched arms and a deep touchdown to A.J. Brown. The connection with those receivers is developing nicely, and the Patriots' passing offense as a whole is improving.

The Patriots' starting quarterback stacked a second straight strong practice on Friday, completing 19 of 21 combined pass attempts in 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s with both incompletions being by choice (one throwaway in 7s, one in 11s despite a seemingly intercepted pass by Christian Gonzalez). Maye impressed by spreading the ball around well and executing multiple highlight-reel throws daily, including a 7-on-7 touchdown to Romeo Doubs over Gonzalez's outstretched arms and a deep touchdown to A.J. Brown, demonstrating developing connections with his receivers and overall offensive development.

Maye is establishing early chemistry with his receiving corps at Patriots training camp, particularly with A.J. Brown. After struggling to connect during the first four non-padded practices, Maye and Brown have clicked since pads came on Thursday, with Maye connecting on four of five passes to Brown in red-zone work, including at least two would-be touchdowns on slants. Maye stated his approach: "Just giving more chances to him... I am not going to shy away from him. That is how I play. I am going to keep going at it, and it could be the fifth play in a row I am going to give him the rock." On Friday, Maye's first pass in full-team work was a deep 40+ yard completion to Brown down the right sideline, followed by back-to-back completions in low red-zone 11-on-11 work.

Drake Maye has shown strong accuracy and connection with multiple receivers during the first two padded practices at training camp. The source notes the quarterback has "rarely seen the ball hit the ground" and has distributed touchdowns across the roster: Hunter Henry, DeMario Douglas, and Mack Hollins for TDs, plus completions to Eli Raridon, Romeo Doubs, and Kayshon Boutte down the field. Maye emphasized accuracy as foundational: "I think you find that during training camp. You try to find a rhythm. I feel like being accurate is one of the number one things of playing quarterback and putting the ball in the right spot and giving our guys chances, and that is what I'm doing and our guys are making plays." His chemistry with A.J. Brown has notably improved since pads came on, with Maye stating the connection is "getting better every day."
