A Hall of Famer is putting his faith in Drake Maye to fill in the void created by the legendary Tom Brady. In the NFL Draft, franchises revamped their rosters and got promising players on the team. In such an instance, the New England Patriots ended their quarterback hunt by drafting Drake Maye on their team. The void created by Tom Brady was never filled. The Patriots took a leap of faith with Mac Jones, but that move didn’t manifest well. 

The Patriots Nation is setting their hopes on young Drake Maye to end their championship drought since 2019. Tom Brady led the Patriots to the Super Bowl championship in 2019, and after that, the Patriots were merely struggling to qualify for the playoffs. But there’s a twist in the story: a Hall of Famer declares Drake Maye as the guy for the Patriots.
