Will Drake Maye play against the Eagles?

The Patriots will play their first NFL season without Bill Belichick since 2000. Jerod Mayo will take charge as head coach this year. The team's most crucial position is quarterback, where Mayo, a former linebacker for New England, already has to make a difficult choice between veteran Jacoby Brissett and former North Carolina standout Drake Maye.

Maye only played one series in last Thursday's preseason victory over the Panthers, completing two of his three passes for 19 yards. The Pats' quarterback play that day was mostly handled by 25 year old Bailey Zappe.

However, based on what head coach Jerod Mayo said last Friday, Patriots supporters should expect to see more of Maye this week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

It's still unclear, though, if the 21-year-old quarterback will be the starter on Thursday.
