The New England Patriots are making a change at starting quarterback.
Drake Maye will make his first NFL start when the Patriots host the Houston Texans on Sunday, NFL Media reported. Jacoby Brissett had started the first five games of the season, but the Patriots went 1-4 as the veteran threw for just 696 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
The Patriots selected Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and allowed Maye to compete for the starting job during training camp and the preseason. Even though Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said that Maye had “outplayed” Brissett at the end of the preseason, the team opted to make the veteran Brissett their starting quarterback to open the regular season to give Maye time to adjust to the NFL.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
