Patriots QB Snapshot: Maye Eyes Faster Offense, Playoff Push

Drake Maye heads into 2026 training camp as a top quarterback after leading the NFL in multiple metrics in his second season; New England plans to run a faster-paced offense under OC Josh McDaniels, leveraging scheme continuity to improve tempo and pre-snap play. Maye showed elite regular-season play but struggled in the postseason against elite defenses, with cover six and cover zero among the toughest matchups. With a healthier supporting cast and three-QB depth (DeVito as likely QB2 and rookie Behren Morton in the mix), the Patriots aim for an MVP-level run and a deep playoff push.
