Ask Drake Maye what excites him most about his new teammates in Foxborough this season, and he’ll mention the frustration that comes with enduring one of the worst stretches in Patriots history.
The Patriots have lost 29 of their last 38 games since Jakobi Meyers’s wild attempt at a late lateral burned them in December of 2022.
There have been stumbling, bumbling losses, such as that one in Las Vegas. There have been numerous blowouts, including the 40-7 stomping that the Patriots took against the Chargers last year.
Maye hasn’t been around for all of it. He was a rookie last year, and the previous coaching staff sat him for the first five games. But, the vibes have been persistently bad and he’s glad that his teammates aren’t comfortable with it.
“I think you’ve got guys around here that are tired of losing around here and guys that want to win,” Maye said. “I think that’s what excites me most. Guys want to win around here. I think the past two or three years around here in the past year for me, I can only speak for myself, but I think there’s guys around here that are tired of losing and want to win.
