Here’s why Patriots may test Christian Gonzalez in contract standoff: bit.ly/ContractStandoff

A.J. Brown has only spent two weeks practicing with the New England Patriots, but he’s already come away impressed by what he’s seen from Drake Maye 🤯

After arriving in New England via trade on June 1, the veteran wide receiver praised the young quarterback’s football IQ, leadership, and command of the offense, qualities that have quickly stood out during their time together on the practice field.

“To be that young, and to understand the defense, and to understand every little check is very impressive. He’s a true leader of men. It’s crazy to see at a young age.” 🗣️

Those are lofty words coming from one of the NFL’s premier receivers.

If Brown’s early assessment is accurate, the Patriots may already have the franchise leader they’ve been searching for under center ⭐️
