Maye spoke to the media on the USAA occasion about his admiration for Patrick Mahomes, his new Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel, and Invoice Belichick, who was employed as the brand new coach of his alma mater.
How has Patrick Mahomes influenced your type as a quarterback?
Drake Maye: I believe the best way that he carries himself, I believe he’s by no means within the media in a foul approach, the best way he handles himself off the sphere, the best way he’s acquired a household now, and his play speaks for itself. I believe the massive factor with Pat is he’s so artistic and I believe this recreation’s attending to the place you gotta make performs and do the precise factor, however the factor with Pat is that he performs within the system so nicely. He is aware of the system so nicely, he’s been within the system, so for me it’s attempting to get to that degree. It takes a very long time to get to the place Pat’s at with their offense and what him and Coach Reid have been doing, it’s enjoyable to observe them on Sundays.
Have you ever talked to educate Vrabel but, and do you’ve any ideas on him?
Oh yeah, coach Vrabel, he’s executed it somewhere else. He’s performed in New England. He’s been a head coach and had success, So I’m excited to deliver any person in with some expertise and, is aware of what it’s prefer to deal with a locker room and be within the locker room. So I’m excited for Coach Vrabel and I believe he’s gonna come on the market and toughen us up, and I believe we want a few of us wants that, you already know.
What are your ideas on Invoice Belichick being employed by your alma mater UNC?
It’s fairly cool. What an opportunity for my alma mater guys taking part in for North Carolina to get an opportunity to go there and play for a Corridor of Fame coach who’s gained Tremendous Bowl rings. It’s a cool deal for them. Better of luck to them and the Tar Heels.
It’s the most effective school city, I believe for my part, Chapel Hill is a particular place, particular individuals, you deal with them good, they’ll deal with you good.
Have you ever spoken with Tom Brady, what recommendation has he given you?
:I met with Tom final season, and he was nice. He gave me some ideas and was like, “Hey, there’s no shortcuts on this league round taking part in this place.” So it was superior for me to get round him, and clearly, he’s among the best to ever do, for my part.”
“So you already know anytime I get round and attempt to ask him questions and he’s acquired a whole lot of stuff occurring now with the published and with the Raiders, so excited to hopefully get round some extra.”
