Tom Brady’s advice for Drake Maye with Patriots hoping rookie can revive franchise
NY Post
Tom Brady has advice for Drake Maye, the Patriots’ next great hope at quarterback.
Surround yourself with the right people and work your you-know-what off. It’s what helped Brady go from a sixth-round pick to one of the great quarterbacks of all time.
“I’m very fortunate to be around him and I like him a lot,” Brady told Yahoo Sports. “I’ve heard great things about him. But his opportunity is going to be really what he makes of it and how he wants to develop it and how he wants to attack his profession — like we all do. It’s not where you’re at when you’re 22. It’s who you’re around when you’re 22. Who inspires you to be better? Who develops you? I was so fortunate. I look at my career, I was looking around at other competitors like Peyton Manning, like Steve McNair, Vinny Testaverde was playing for the [New York] Jets. Brett Favre was playing.”
The Patriots selected Maye third overall out of North Carolina in this year’s NFL draft.
Maye threw 63 touchdown passes and ran for 16 scores as a Tar Heel, finishing fourth in school history in total offense (9,227 yards), fifth in passing yards, fourth in passing TDs and sixth in completions.
The Patriots hope he can help them return to relevance after some down years with Mac Jones, whom they took No. 15 overall in 2021 and traded to the Jaguars three months ago.
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.
The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
