‘Itâs electric playing with Drake’

Drake Maye has been performing relatively well this season, and starting right guard Mike Onwenu recently admired the young quarterbackâs talent.
âItâs fun,â Onwenu said on Thursday, via Carlos A. Lopez. âYou block and then you look back and you see the ball just going over your head and just scoring on those like last week. Itâs fun. Itâs electric playing with Drake. You just never know what heâs gonna do.â
Maye delivered an impressive performance against the Tennessee Titans last Sunday, completing 21 of 23 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He set a franchise record for completion percentage in a single game at 91.3%.
The 23-year-old quarterbackâs season took an encouraging turn during the teamâs Week 4 win against the Carolina Panthers. Maye threw for 203 yards and tossed two touchdown passes. Since that victory, the New England Patriots have gone on a roll, defeating the Buffalo Bills, New Orleans Saints and the Titans.
Maye could face his most challenging game yet this season when the Patriots square off against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Cleveland may have a 2-5 record, but its defense stands out as one of the best in the NFL, allowing just 256.1 yards per game â the lowest in the league.
For the Patriots to secure their fifth straight win, Maye must perform at his best and ensure he holds on to the ball, or Cleveland could make it a rough day for the second-year quarterback.
