This year’s rookie quarterback class has been exciting so far and is getting about as close as it can to living up to its hype.
That includes New England Patriots QB Drake Maye, who has been impressive in his five starts since taking over the starting gig from Jacoby Brissett.
Maye has injected plenty of life into a once-lifeless offense, and former Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski is a big fan of what he has seen from the team’s new franchise QB.
During the FOX NFL pregame show on Sunday, Gronk had high praise for Maye and said, “I love Drake Maye. I love everything about him, especially that he had brothers growing up and he was always competing…He’s a complete leader, he’s a complete quarterback out on the football field.”

Gronk and fellow Pats legend Julian Edelman agreed that they loved how Maye called a team meeting recently, and Edelman said Maye has earned the right to do that already by the way he has played on the field.
Maye has completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 954 yards and eight total touchdowns through five starts while adding another 233 yards on the ground.
The Pats have won two of their last three games, with one loss being in overtime, so things are trending in the right direction, and Maye is looking more comfortable each week.
New England takes on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and will look to keep the momentum going with a third win in four games.
