Drake Maye mostly solid in NFL debut; did he earn more playing time?

Posted Sep 20, 2024
Former UNC quarterback Drake Maye made his NFL debut late in New England’s 24-3 loss Thursday to the New York Jets. The question now is if he gets more chances to show his talent and can he endure playing behind the bad Patriots offensive line? Maye entered with 4:24 left and was solid once he got comfortable, finishing 4 of 8 for 22 yards. (Tar Heel Tribune)
