The New England Patriots currently hold the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft and are widely expected to select a quarterback with the pick. And as they decide which quarterback they would like to target, they met with one potential choice this week.
According to a report from NFL insider Albert Breer of SI.com, the New England Patriots decided to meet with North Carolina Tar Heels superstar quarterback Drake Maye ahead of his pro day workout on Thursday.
“Patriots will meet with UNC QB Drake Maye ahead of his Pro Day this AM, per sources. Nine guys from New England in Chapel Hill today: Eliot Wolf, Jerod Mayo, Alex Van Pelt, Matt Groh, Pat Stewart, Alonzo Highsmith, TC McCartney, Ben McAdoo & Matt Evans (8 of 9 were also at LSU),” Breer said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

The Patriots currently have the No. 3 pick in the draft behind the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders. So we’ll have to see whether or not Maye would be available to them when it’s their turn to pick.
