Former division rival turned teammate calls Drake Maye 'electrifying'
Patriots veteran offensive lineman Morgan Moses explained what makes Drake Maye so special.
New England Patriots offensive tackle Morgan Moses had high praise for Drake Maye in the latest episode of the "Forged in Foxborough” docuseries. Moses, a former New York Jet, broke down what makes the 23-year-old quarterback so special. “He just has a personal relationship with every single person on this roster," Moses said .
"What he brings to this team as a friend, as a brother in the locker room, the camaraderie that he builds with the guys, with the offensive line guys. I mean, even with the defensive guys, he's part of the identity that we talk about. When you got a guy back there at quarterback like that, I'm trying to tell you, man, when you step on the field, it’s electrifying.
” Maye led the Patriots to an improbable Super Bowl appearance last season. Ultimately, the team failed to defeat the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl LX, but they did send a message to the rest of the NFL that they are once again a legitimate threat. Maye came within one vote of tying Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford last season for the NFL MVP award after throwing for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while also completing 72 percent of his passes.
He proved that he could be a franchise cornerstone of the team for years to come. It says a lot for a player with Moses' experience to speak so highly about the leadership of a young quarterback heading into only his third NFL season. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook .
