Maye also had a fumble recovered by the Rams.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford, like Rams head coach Sean McVay, came away impressed by Maye, especially with Maye\u2019s pocket presence and toughness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally talented player,\u201d Stafford told reporters, per team-provided transcript. \u201cI\u2019ve watched a little bit of crossover tape just from games, but really talented kid. Obviously can move great in the pocket. I thought he stood in there a few times today and made some nice plays on third down. He\u2019s got a bright future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nbcsportsboston.com\/2024\/11\/Drake-Maye-USATSI_24786409.jpg?quality=85&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Drake Maye reacts to costly turnovers in Patriots' Week 11 loss to Rams \u2013  NBC Sports Boston\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stafford knows what it\u2019s like to be a young quarterback with the hopes of a franchise placed upon his shoulders. The Detroit Lions selected Stafford with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. He went 2-8 in 10 starts as a 21-year-old rookie but went on to enjoy a career that has now spanned 16 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Maye is just 22 years old, but showed in six starts so far he has the right makeup \u2014 both physically and mentally \u2014 to succeed as New England\u2019s franchise quarterback. The high praise from Stafford should help Maye\u2019s confidence, especially with it coming from someone the North Carolina product admires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrew up a big fan of Matthew Stafford and still a fan over there on the sideline,\u201d Maye told reporters, per team-provided video. \u201cUsed to watch him on Thanksgiving. \u2026 Thought he threw the football, sadly, pretty well today. It was cool to watch and glad to meet him after the game and told him I was a big fan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford came away from Sunday&#8217;s win over the Patriots highly impressed by rookie quarterback Drake Maye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3288,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
