Patriots QB Drake Maye struggles in Day 2 of training camp
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had a rough second day at training camp, completing just six of twelve pass attempts and throwing his first interception of camp to safety Craig Woodson. Defensive backs Woodson, Christian Gonzalez and Milton Williams each made plays on Maye's throws, prompting criticism of his accuracy on the practice field.
Maye, who posted a 72 % completion rate for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions in the 2025 season, said the Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks has left him hungry and focused on improving. Coach Mike Vrabel emphasized a heightened sense of urgency for the camp, and the team added weapons such as former Steelers receiver A.J. Brown (acquired via trade) and rookie Romeo Doubs to bolster the offense. The Patriots are scheduled to face the Seahawks in a nationally televised rematch on September 9, and Maye vowed to bring his “A‑game” as camp progresses.
