Alex Van Pelt sees elite quarterback traits in Patriots rookie Drake Maye
Briefly

I was on the hook whenever we had our meeting down there in Chapel Hill, where he really just stood up and took all the bullets for a bad game that he played. We watched the NC State game where he played poorly. To me, that was the one like, I think this guy holding himself accountable, not placing any blame on teammates, or scheme, or any of that. That to me was the big piece.
There was some quizzes that went on where he missed one and it kind of haunted him. So the next time we got back together he kept bringing up that one formation that beat him in the quiz. So, that's the competitive nature that comes out that you like to see.
There's a lot of good quarterbacks. I think the greatness comes with the detail. I think the processing, to me, the great quarterbacks are the fastest processors. They can see the field, they can understand the issues, they can see the space in the field and process that quickly.
