Drake Maye will face the Houston Texans in his first career start.
The Houston Texans will be the first opponent for New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye in his career as the team's starting quarterback.
While the Texans may be at somewhat of a disadvantage not knowing much about Maye, coach DeMeco Ryans shared what he's seen from the former North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback. “For Drake, what I’ve seen is a young, athletic quarterback who has a live arm, can move around really well in the pocket, can escape the pressures," Ryans said. "I think he – for them, making that move, looking for a spark for their offense and he can provide it. He can make all the reads go to the right spot. He makes good decisions with the football. So, defensively, there’s a lot of unknown with this being his first start, so a lot of unknown for us.
