New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye still trusts the process under coach Jerod Mayo, despite the team’s continued struggles this season.
The Patriots have not won a game in over a month, since their November 10 victory over the Chicago Bears. They are currently sitting at 3-11 on the season with the projected No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft, if the season ended today.
“It’s his first year being a head coach. It’s a tough challenge for the New England Patriots. Like I said, it’s a lot of responsibility to be the quarterback, same as the head coach,” Maye told media members on Wednesday. “…He’s figuring it out. I think our players, we’re behind him, we’re backing him.
“We trust the plan he’s got for us, and we trust what he says in the team meeting rooms and all of the little sayings that he has. We believe in it. We’re bought into it. The results are coming. I think they’re coming. Everybody wishes they were now. I think we’re striving for that. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. …But winning is coming in the near future.”
Maye has been one of the bright spots for the Patriots this season. He has given the team hope as a solid franchise talent they can build around at the quarterback position.
The rest is up to Mayo and the Patriots.
