New England Patriots center David Andrews noted that rookie quarterback Drake Maye has earned his respect, as well as the respect of others in the locker room.

Drake Maye is having an extremely promising start to his NFL career, but the Patriots quarterback is far from perfect, which is to be expected out of a rookie. Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was asked Thursday morning which areas he’d like to see Maye improve to become a more complete quarterback.

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is excited to face fellow New England Patriots rookie Drake Maye on Sunday. Williams is having a strong start in his first NFL season for a Bears team that is currently 4-4.

The Patriots continue to leak like a broken faucet against the run, allowing 167 last week and more than 170 per game over the previous month. Next up is Bears running back D’Andre Swift, who has 505 rushing yards and four touchdowns this season.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has made five starts and has had some ups and downs. Such is the life of a rookie signal-caller who starts in the first year of his career after being drafted.

While they’re unlikely to see each other often, Williams and Maye always will be linked as part of the epic 2024 quarterback class that saw an unprecedented six of them go in the top 12 picks.

Sunday's Patriots-Bears matchup will feature a Drake Maye vs. Caleb Williams showdown, and it could also feature a comedy of errors by either team.

The Patriots still are not interested in designing runs for rookie QB Drake Maye despite his impressive mobility.
