New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo believes rookie quarterback Drake Maye is “on track to be a special player” in the NFL. The work developing Maye behind the scenes has continued, but there’s no denying the incredible potential and talent he already possesses at this stage of his career.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo has received his share of criticism amid a 3-12 first season through 15 games in charge following the departure of Bill Belichick. And while Mayo’s job status is reportedly looking fairly safe through 2025, the embattled rookie coach has won one of the most important voices in the locker room.

The Krafts reportedly want to keep Jerod Mayo as head coach in 2025 unless "things go off the rails" or he loses the locker room over the final three weeks.
