Patriots QB Drake Maye noted that he was doing what he could to pitch Pro Bowlers on the Patriots ahead of a busy offseason.

Peyton Manning appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and talked about Maye’s willingness to learn the game. Most notably, he said he noticed the young quarterback in a productive conversation with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Drake Maye, the rookie quarterback for the New England Patriots, had a standout first season in the NFL. Although originally named an alternate, he was added to the Pro Bowl roster after Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen opted out.
