Imo this sounds big but I don’t think anyone should take this too seriously, any coach would go up to bat for their guy and wants them to go as high in the draft as possible.
This lining up with the betting odds makes me think maye will be a patriot
Well Harbaugh says JJ is going #1… so does that mean we get Caleb Williams?

Let’s hope he’s right. I’d much rather Maye.
His comparison to Lamar is a bad one. Jackson is very good at avoiding hits, while Daniels is reckless.
So I know the two prevailing theories out of this will be that Washington told him they’re taking him and it slipped out OR he’s trying to blow some smoke up JD.
Wanted to interject a 3rd— which is that Washington told him they’re taking JD, but he knows how the business works and is putting the pressure on them to take him.
Well, congratulations to Drake Maye, I guess. He’ll look great in a Patriots uniform.
Maye is still going 2
I find it hard to believe Brian Kelly knows anything. He’s probably just talking his guy up, wants him drafted as high as possible.
Now on the off chance he really does know and said this as a fact it would be hilarious.
Brian Kelly is drunk til the spring game.
Script leak
I know people go to bat for their guys, but this doesn’t feel like it. This feels more like a slip, the way he kinda tails off the “for Washington” it wasn’t emphatic or anything.
This could also just be me as a Drake Maye believer reading way too far into it. More moldeable, much younger, more suited to sitting for a year to learn. I do think both will be good though.
Not surprising, jayden is the QB that will give defensive coordinators the most issues
Probably just gassing his guy up like harbaugh did
