Pats Pulpit: A New England Patriots Community
The Patriots are coming off preparation for what offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels called one of the best players in football in Titans defensive lineman Jeffrey Simmons. This week, they might be preparing for the best. “Myles Garrett. He’s one of the best players in the league,” quarterback Drake Maye said Wednesday. “He’s somebody you’ve got […]
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye can’t seem to miss. Through seven weeks of his second NFL season, Maye leads the league completing 75.2 percent of his passes. His +10.3% completion percentage over expected also is top among all quarterbacks. To make things even more impressive, Maye hasn’t been a “Checkdown Charlie” — instead ranking third in […]

By the end of training camp and preseason, it appeared the Cleveland Browns might have made the wrong decision in the second round of the draft. Targeting a running back at No. 36 overall, they had their choice between two local kids: Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins or TreVeyon Henderson. They went with the former, leaving […]

As the New England Patriots split into position groups to start practice, the drill work in the quarterback area of the field typically focuses on one area: ball security. With coaches holding padded bags swiping at the football in the pocket, the priority remains keeping two hands on the ball as Drake Maye and his […]
Mike Vrabel served as a coaching and personnel consultant last season for Sunday’s visitors. Ashton Grant served as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach, too.

Even though he has started five games this season and is tied for third on the team with two touchdown receptions, Mack Hollins has been a relatively quiet member of the New England Patriots’ wide receiver group thus far. Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte are the most productive pass catchers on the team through seven […]

As Patriots tight end Austin Hooper walked off the field in Nashville on Sunday, he knew his quarterback had an efficient day passing the football. But the veteran tight end just didn’t realize exactly how efficient until he checked the box score. “My goodness,” Hooper recalled himself thinking. That box score for quarterback Drake Maye […]
Ever since placing running back Antonio Gibson on injured reserve following the torn ACL he had suffered in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills, the New England Patriots had an open spot on their roster.
