Patriots Skip Preseason for Maye | New England Patriots News
Description
The Patriots are taking a bold, unconventional route with rookie QB Drake Maye—holding him out of preseason games to focus on intense practice reps against elite defenses. Head coach Mike Vrabel explains this isn’t a gamble but a strategic move to sharpen Maye’s decision-making and command at the line of scrimmage, building a strong rapport with OC Josh McDaniels. While some rust is expected, Vrabel believes real-season pressure—especially in Week One’s road opener against the Seahawks—is far more valuable than exhibition play. With a revamped offense and Maye at the helm, the team’s betting big on preparation over preseason hype.
