New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye recently responded to critiques from New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns. Burns, a two-time Pro Bowler, acknowledged Maye’s skills but cautioned that his poise could come back to challenge him.

During a media interaction, Burns noted that Maye might be “too poised” in the pocket, which could affect his awareness of pass rushers. In response, Maye expressed uncertainty about the exact meaning of Burns’ comments but acknowledged his opponent’s talent.
Quote from Drake Maye
Maye said, “Not 100% [sure] what that really means. I try to keep my eyes down the field while feeling pressure.” Despite the critique, he respects Burns as a great player and aims to improve.
Upcoming Game with Elevated Stakes
The Patriots are preparing for a crucial matchup against the Giants on Monday. Maye will face heightened pressure, as left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson are expected to miss the game.
- Missing Players:
- Will Campbell (Left Tackle)
- Jared Wilson (Left Guard)
This situation may create more opportunities for Burns to disrupt Maye in the backfield. The young quarterback needs to remain vigilant against a Giants team that could prove challenging, despite their 2-10 record.
As the game approaches, focus will be on how Maye adapts to these conditions, especially with the added pressure from Burns and the Giants’ defense.
