Former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had a lofty potential comparison for rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
\nThe North Carolina product was selected by the Patriots third overall in the 2024 NFL draft. Unlike the two quarterbacks drafted ahead of him, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, Maye wasn’t given an opportunity to start right out of the gates.
\nThe team instead went with veteran Jacoby Brissett and chose to take their time developing Maye behind the scenes. This could be a smart move with the offensive line struggles and the Patriots having one of the hardest schedules in the NFL.
\nMcDaniels appeared on Julian Edelman\u2019s \u201cGames With Names\u201d podcast and gave insight into what he believes Maye\u2019s potential will be.
\n“Got great size, really athletic. I don\u2019t know where he\u2019ll fit in the whole like, the style he\u2019ll play with. I\u2019m interested to see how that develops,” McDaniels said. “Is he going to be a little bit of a runner like Josh Allen was in Buffalo? Guys like that that have those kinds of attributes, you can use them to run the football too. Or, if he is just a pocket passer, a big tall strong guy in the pocket. But the games I’ve seen, he’s done a good job in.”

The fact that Maye drew a comparison to Allen from a great offensive mind like McDaniels’ is certainly a positive sign. Time will tell what Maye\u2019s ceiling will end up being.
\nNevertheless, it\u2019s clear that the Patriots, and others around the league, see the potential.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson once again failed to exorcise his Patrick Mahomes and Steve Spagnuolo demons. That paved the way for the Chiefs to pick up their first win in their bid towards three-peating as Super Bowl champions.
There are a slew of teams chasing behind them, including the San Francisco 49ers and most notably, the No. 3-ranked Houston Texans. It’s crazy to think the Texans were a losing franchise coming off a three-win season over a year ago. Now, they’re a legitimate playoff contender led by one of the future stars at quarterback, C.J. Stroud.
The New England Patriots are hoping the same will be the case some day for rookie Drake Maye, although they didn’t need him to pull off a massive upset victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in their season opener.
Here are the Week 2 power rankings in the NFL:
Robert Kraft and supporters have twisted their brains like pretzels trying to figure out why the New England Patriots owner still hasn’t been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
\nIt was even more confusing seeing Kraft’s longtime archrival, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, get inducted in 2017.
\n“He hasn’t been to the NFC title game in two decades and he gets in?” Kraft told a confidant, via Don Van Natta Jr. in a recent ESPN report. “How does that work?”
\nKraft has a point.
\nThe Patriots won six Super Bowls in less than two decades under his watch, while the Cowboys haven’t even been to a Super Bowl since 1995.
\nThere was an explanation given to Kraft and Patriots PR chief Stacey James by Hall of Fame voter Jason Cole, per the report. Kraft didn’t seem to buy the answer considering he laughed after hearing it.
\nVan Natta Jr. wrote:
\n\nA few minutes into the conversation, Kraft asked Cole: “How did Jerry Jones manage to get into the Hall of Fame?”
\n“He’s P.T. Barnum,” Cole said he replied, echoing a sentiment he said he previously had expressed when James called seeking an explanation. “He’s the greatest marketer in the history of the sport.” Cole recalled that Kraft just laughed.
One has to think Kraft will eventually get into the Hall of Fame. He’s probably hoping it happens sooner rather than later considering he’s 83 years old.
\nRegardless, it’s hard to understand how an owner overseeing the greatest dynasty in NFL history is somehow left out in the cold of the league’s most prestigious honor.
