Drake Maye's Leadership Growth for Patriots

On April 1, Drake made just wrapped up a monster's second season with the Patriots at age 23.

He snagged second team all pro honors, came in second for MVP, and carried the team to the Super Bowl.

But heading into year 3, head coach Mike Rabel says there's still work to do.

Rabel once may stepping up his game control right at the line of scrimmage.

Think better play calls, owning the offense like an extension of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

It's all about cadence, communication, and leading the whole unit.

Nothing physical holding him back.

Just pure leadership growth.

May swiss from Alex Bampelt system in his rookie year to McDaniel's calling plays last season,

piling on more responsibility.

Now with continuity from McDaniels and quarterbacks coach Ashton Grand,

May feels like he's building a solid foundation.

He says the sky is the limit with more tools at the line.

That epic run ended rough with a Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks,

plus a late shoulder injury.

But May's back to full health, ready for offseason work.

His maturity let the past ditch veteran back up Joshua Dobbs.

Looking ahead though, grab a young third quarterback to develop behind May and Tommy DeVito,

keeping that depth chart fresh for another strong push.
