Patriots quarterback Drake Maye says he believes he's starting to "find a stride" in Josh McDaniels' new offense during minicamp practices.

FOXBORO – Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continues to show progress during the team’s spring practices, and he’s not taking the easy way out. Maye, who was 14-of-18 during 11-on-11 drills Monday during Day 1 of Patriots minicamp, isn’t shying away from throwing at cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis.

I think that there is a lot of room to grow. I think there’s a lot of natural leadership qualities. I think I have to encourage him, continue to encourage him," Vrabel said of his quarterback.
