During rookie minicamp this past weekend, rookie quarterbacks Joe Milton III and Drake Maye both saw action on the field for the first time for the New England Patriots. The media was allowed access to the practice on Saturday, so people saw the future in action for the first time.

Maye, the third overall selection, is seen as the likely starter behind center and the team’s best chance to change the narrative after a 4-13 season-ending failure.


Maye, together with a much-improved wide receivers room and a returning defense that was among the best in football the previous season, could be the perfect combo for New England.

The fact that Milton was selected with a sixth-round choice surprised a few people. Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf stated that the former Tennessee Volunteer’s arm talent was too remarkable to ignore. All it takes to understand the move is to watch Milton toss a football.


The Patriots will witness one of the best quarterback contests in recent memory with the arrival of Maye and Milton alongside Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe. Who will win in the end?
