Patriots QB Drake Maye Delivers High Praise for Jalen Hurts
The New England Patriots hosted the Philadelphia Eagles for the second straight day of joint practice on Thursday.
On Thursday, the New England Patriots hosted the Philadelphia Eagles for joint practice sessions. Afterwards, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and Eagles QB Jalen Hurts engaged in a friendly conversation on the field. Maye, a two-time runner-up for the award, expressed high admiration for Hurts. "I’m a big fan of his game," he stated, accompanied by NFL insider John Clark on NBC.
He further recalled, "I told him back when I was committed to Alabama, he was one of the quarterbacks I was watching play there. He is a Super Bowl champ. That speaks for itself."
The mutual respect between Hurts and Maye is evident. Hurts echoed similar sentiments about Maye following Wednesday's practice session. "I think Drake has had a lot of success already," he commented. "So I don’t know what my advice would do. I just think he needs to continue the progression that he’s on. I mean, he’s already accomplished so many great things in a short time and I expect more great things to come for him."
The Patriots and Eagles are scheduled to face each other in a preseason matchup at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.
