What new head coach Mike Vrabel wants in New England is what Maye and Co. have been hearing a lot of as the club began its offseason program this week.<\/p>\n
“It’s been great with coach; he’s come in here and it seems like he’s been here a while,” Maye said of Vrabel. “He’s so comfortable being a head coach. He’s done it before; he’s done it at a high level and won a lot of games. So, looking forward to getting things going. You can see he’s trying to kind of install the new identity. I think we’re building toward that, working and trusting his ways.”<\/p>\n
Maye was the silver lining of what was a dreadful 4-13 season for the Patriots in 2024, which led to Vrabel’s arrival. The rookie flashed a strong, accurate arm when given time to throw, but the Patriots’ leaky offensive line and a limited wide receiver corps prevented Maye from fully showing what he seemed capable of.<\/p>\n
The Patriots revamped Maye’s protection this offseason, signing Garrett Bradbury<\/a> and Morgan Moses<\/a> in addition to drafting Campbell. Veteran WR Stefon Diggs<\/a> was the splashiest offseason signing<\/a> in Foxborough, and Mack Hollins<\/a> was another solid move to shore up Maye’s pass catchers. The Patriots also drafted TreVeyon Henderson<\/a> in the second round to place a dynamic running back at his side.<\/p>\n “I’m pumped. A lot of new faces. A lot of guys, veterans that played at a high level,” Maye said. “We kind of found answers at a lot of different spots. Hopefully can plug and play, and I think that’s what the point of free agency is. Get guys that can come here and help us win. Help us win now. Add that in with some young talent we’ve had in the past couple of drafts, hopefully we’re heading in the right direction.”<\/p>\n
