The New England Patriots have surprised few with their decision to select Drake Maye as the quarterback of the future with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who appeared on NFL Network’s “The Insiders,” was not shocked by the selection, knowing that Mac Jones had been traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Stevenson admitted that he had a feeling that Maye would be selected after Jones left, saying, “I knew we were going to pull the trigger on somebody. I didn’t know who it would be, who would be available. But, I kinda knew it was going to be Drake Maye. I kinda knew, so it wasn’t that much of a surprise to me.”
Stevenson is coming off a successful season with 619 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Now, he is looking forward to playing a role in an offense that is going through changes. Maye has been working hard since joining the team and aims to meet the high expectations placed on him as the quarterback of the future. His progress will be crucial to the team’s success.
On the practice field, things have been promising for Maye and Stevenson as they prepare for their first season together. Fans may soon have the chance to see them in action as they work towards a successful season for both players and their respective teams.
