"The New England Patriots have found their quarterback, and that's now abundantly clear. Nonetheless, Jayden Daniels' Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign last season was something spectacular: he totaled 31 total touchdowns to just 9 interceptions to go along with over 3,500 yards through the air, with nearly 900 more coming on the ground. This all came with a 69% completion rate."
"Drake Maye's rookie year had its ups and downs. He finished with 17 total touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and without a doubt, the offense was better with him at the helm. Caleb Williams and the Daniels above were not options for the Patriots at No. 3 overall, but they did have their choice of the other four quarterbacks that wound up being first-round selections."
Drake Maye was named the Patriots' quarterback after a rookie season with 17 total touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Jayden Daniels delivered an Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign with 31 total touchdowns, nine interceptions, over 3,500 passing yards, nearly 900 rushing yards, and a 69% completion rate. The Patriots held the No. 3 pick and could not select Caleb Williams or Daniels, but considered other first-round quarterbacks including Michael Penix, J.J. McCarthy, and Bo Nix. McCarthy was reportedly a media consideration for New England, though he missed the entire 2024 season with injury. Opinions suggested drafting McCarthy over Maye would have been a mistake.
