Vrabel Acknowledges Progress as Maye Struggles with Accuracy During OTAs

Patriots leadership calls for patience in the quarterback’s early work with Josh McDaniels’ demanding system.

Overview

  • During late-May OTAs, head coach Mike Vrabel reported that Maye’s command, communication and execution have shown measurable improvement.
  • Maye completed 20 of 33 passes (61 percent) but missed several receivers and fumbled a snap in recent 11-on-11 drills.
  • Josh McDaniels is overseeing Maye’s technical development with complex play designs while Vrabel provides overarching leadership guidance.
  • New England’s defense has applied consistent pressure and frequent blitzes that have tested Maye’s decision-making and timing.
  • At 22, Maye remains a work in progress but is viewed as the future leader of the Patriots’ offense, with coaches stressing the need for continued growth.
