Patriots first-round pick revealed
New era begins in New England
Patriots select Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft
The New England Patriots have selected Drake Maye, a quarterback from the University of North Carolina, with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Maye is a 6'5", 230-pound quarterback who is considered to be one of the best prospects at his position in this year's draft. He was a five-star recruit coming out of high school and was named the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2023.
Maye is a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays with his arm and his legs. He threw for 4,400 yards and 38 touchdowns in 2023, and he also rushed for 600 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Patriots are hoping that Maye can be their franchise quarterback for the next decade. They have not had a true franchise quarterback since Tom Brady left the team in 2020.
Maye will have the opportunity to learn from one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, as the Patriots have hired Bill Belichick to be their new head coach. Belichick has won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, and he is considered to be one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.
The Patriots are hoping that Maye and Belichick can lead them back to the Super Bowl. They have not won a Super Bowl since 2019, and they have not even made it to the AFC Championship game since 2018.
