The Patriots will start No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye on Sunday after Jacoby Brissett went 1-4, NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry confirmed.
, the Patriots plan to start their No. 3 overall draft pick this Sunday when they welcome the Houston Texans to Gillette Stadium. NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry later confirmed the report, citing a source.Patriots planned on playing Maye at some point this year. They want to know what they have in him prior to his second season. Jerod Mayo determines the time is now.. The veteran signal-caller has only two touchdowns with an average of 139.2 passing yards through five games this season.
Even if Maye experiences growing pains in his first start, it's hard to believe the Pats offense could look any worse than it has in recent weeks. At this point, he offers the most upside against C.J. Stroud and the high-powered Texans offense coming off a big win over the Buffalo Bills. Houston enters Sunday's matchup leading the AFC South with a 4-1 record. New England will look to earn its first win since its upset victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in its season opener.
