Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick had harsh criticism for the team's first round pick, Drake Maye, on Thursday night after his comparison to Bills QB Josh Allen.
Bill Belichick isn’t in the New England Patriots war room this offseason, but the veteran head coach certainly has an opinion on the team’s first round draft pick. Appearing on 'The Pat McAfee Show' draft night special, Belichick sounded lukewarm in his take on the Patriots selecting former North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick on Thursday night. Belichick seemingly shaded the selection over Maye’s own comparison to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
In his two seasons at UNC, Maye threw for 7,929 yards with a 64.9% completion rate. He threw for 62 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while running for 16 more scores. He was All-ACC first-team in 2022 and second-team last season. He passed for 3,608 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. Fox News’ Ryan Morik and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
