The Patriots selected who they hope to be their franchise quarterback in Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick in last year's NFL draft. The former UNC Tar Heel impressed as a rookie, throwing for 2,276 yards and scoring 17 total touchdowns while being named a Pro Bowl alternate.
New England also selected another signal-caller last offseason: Tennessee's Joe Milton III in the sixth round. After spending most of the year as the team's emergency third quarterback, the 25-year-old saw significant action in their season finale against the Buffalo Bills. He completed over 75% of his passes for 241 yards, scored two total touchdowns, and helped lead the Patriots to a win.
