Patriots Coach Jerod Mayo Emphasizes Competition in QB Room Following Draft

Despite mixed reviews from Bill Belichick, rookie QB Drake Maye is set to compete for the starting role, with veteran Jacoby Brissett also in contention.

Bill Belichick expressed skepticism about rookie QB Drake Maye's readiness, comparing him unfavorably to star QBs.
Head coach Jerod Mayo countered, emphasizing that the best player would start, indicating a competitive atmosphere for the QB position.
Drake Maye, drafted third overall by the Patriots, aims to start but acknowledges the need to learn from veterans like Brissett.
The Patriots have bolstered their roster, adding receivers and offensive linemen to support the new QB.
