Drake Maye had an up-and-down rookie year for the Patriots in 2024. But the organization has made significant moves to set up the 2024 No. 3 overall pick for more success in 2025 — including bringing back Josh McDaniels to be the team’s offensive coordinator under head coach Mike Vrabel.

When the Patriots selected left tackle Will Campbell out of LSU with the No. 4 pick in the NFL Draft, Campbell made it clear he would leave it all on the line to protect Maye. Maye said he watched the draft on television, including Campbell's interview.
