Patriots coach Jerod Mayo responded Monday to Bill Belichick's criticism of the team's first round draft pick, Drake Maye, saying that no rookie is 'perfect' their first year.
Bill Belichick had a strong opinion of the New England Patriots No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye on draft night, and current head coach Jerod Mayo does not entirely disagree. The veteran coach took issue with the former North Carolina quarterback’s own comparisons to Josh Allen, and he expressed concern over his lack of experience and the need for improvement.
BILL BELICHICK SHADES PATRIOTS 1ST ROUND PICK DRAKE MAYE OVER JOSH ALLEN COMPARISON: 'WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT' 'We understand the player on and off the field. We understand that none of these guys are perfect,' Mayo said. 'None of these quarterbacks are coming in here ready to play. I actually think coach said that – the only player that he knows that was ready to play once they came into the league was Lawrence Taylor.
