Former New England Patriots running back James White shared his thoughts on rookie quarterback Drake Maye during an episode of “The Money Down Podcast.”
The North Carolina product has been making waves across the league with multiple veterans singing his praises on a weekly basis. You can now add the three-time Super Bowl champion to that list.
“Drake Maye been handling business. I gotta give him a ton of credit. For a rookie, he’s not necessarily playing like one,” said White. “…He’s giving them a chance. It looks different than what we’ve seen from maybe Patriots quarterbacks in the past, but it’s been cool to see. He’s getting the ball out on time. He’s not holding onto the football. He’ll take the checkdowns. It looks like he knows what he’s looking at.”

The Patriots are coming off back-to-back losses to the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams, but Maye’s play hasn’t wavered in a tough season for the team.
They’ll have a lot of work to do in the offseason, but it’s clear they’ve figured out the most important position on the field.
