C.J. Stroud shares advice with Drake Maye after Patriots quarterback's first start

C.J. Stroud shared advice with rookie quarterback Drake Maye after Maye's first start for the New England Patriots. Stroud, who had a standout rookie season with the Houston Texans, encouraged Maye following a game where he threw for 243 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Maye showed improvement during the game, despite some early struggles. He rushed for 38 yards and demonstrated poise, which suggests he is adapting to the starting role after previously sitting behind veteran Jacoby Brissett. Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo expressed optimism about Maye's performance, acknowledging the team's need to improve. Maye will have another opportunity to prove himself next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
