Mike Vrabel emphasizes urgency for Drake Maye in Patriots offense

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel highlighted the need for quarterback Drake Maye to improve his urgency in commanding the offense as the team prepares for the 2026 season. Last year, Maye had a standout performance, throwing for 4,394 yards and 31 touchdowns, but struggled as competition increased. Vrabel noted that the Patriots ranked 28th in seconds per play last season, suggesting a need for faster play execution. The organization is implementing practices aimed at enhancing Maye’s efficiency. With another year under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, improvements are expected.
