Patriots Favor Veteran Brissett Over Rookie Maye for Season Start

Despite high draft pick status, Drake Maye faces a steep learning curve as Jacoby Brissett leads as the starting quarterback.

Jacoby Brissett, with a solid track record, is favored to start as Patriots' quarterback for the 2024 season.
Drake Maye, selected third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, is seen as a future leader but needs more time to adjust to the NFL.
Internal sources suggest Maye could still secure the starting spot if he excels in training camp.
Maye's performance in college was strong, but transitioning to the professional level presents significant challenges.
Despite not starting, Maye is considered a strong contender for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
