“Tom Brady’s the GOAT. It’s easy to say that. He’s the best to ever play this game,” Maye said Thursday night. “I’m not going to be Tom Brady. I’m just going to try to be Drake Maye. And from there, just try to learn from him, get to know him a little bit. And other than that, just try to soak it up and be a sponge and try to learn all I can from him. He’s the man in that town.”

Extra points

Patriost head coach Jerod Mayo mentioned actually mentioned Brady when talking about what stood out about Maye last season. “One thing about Drake, and we kind of talked about it this past year, they also had some holes on offense, and the thing that most impressed me about him, he would get smashed and just get right back up. That’s the same trait — you had a guy like Tom Brady — not saying that he’s Tom, but just that mentality. Same thing with Joe Burrow. Those guys just keep getting back up and continuing to play at a high level, and that was like the aha moment for me” … De facto general manager Eliot Wolf said the Patriots are trying to acquire more picks in the 2024 NFL Draft … The message from Wolf’s father, Pro Football Hall of Fame former Packers general manager Ron Wolf, on Thursday: “trust your instinct and try to do what’s right for the Patriots.”
