Amidst concerns of whether the New England Patriots will take Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy in the draft, ESPN’s Mel Kiper stated that preparing Maye would be a “crowning achievement.”
“If you manage Maye effectively, manage McCarthy appropriately, I believe you’re going to have a strong quarterback,” Kiper stated on The Next Pats Podcast Friday. “I believe the guy that has the possibility to be terrific out of those 2 is Maye. McCarthy might be strong, not a bust. I believe you look at it a little in a different way. If you wish to strike the crowning achievement, you take Drake Maye.”
