Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will have an almost entirely new coaching staff leading him on the New England sideline in his second NFL season

Drake Maye is more than familiar with his new offensive coordinator. When the quarterback came to New England last year, he dove into his new playbook but also watched game film from past Patriots seasons. As it turns out, those film sessions will come in handy this season when Maye is coached by Josh McDaniels for the first time.

Drake Maye: "I think the biggest thing is he's been a head coach, and he knows what it's like. So (I'm) excited to get up to New England and get things going."

In his first interview since the Mike Vrabel hire, Drake Maye spoke with SiriusXM NFL Radio about the Patriots' offseason moves.

The New England Patriots reportedly interviewed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy before deciding on Josh McDaniels to take over the offensive play-calling, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz.

Josh McDaniels's adaptability and versatile scheme could transform Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense into one of the NFL's most dangerous.

Josh McDaniels has never had a QB quite like Drake Maye. But Mike Vrabel believes the OC can adapt to "new trends" to make Maye thrive.

James White knows what it’s like to play for Josh McDaniels, who the New England Patriots recently hired to be their offensive coordinator for the third time. White was drafted by the Patriots in 2014 but didn’t see the field much as a rookie.
