Stop if you’ve heard this story before: The New England Patriots drafted a former Michigan quarterback in the sixth round who is immediately turning heads. 

While it was against the Panthers’ third-stringers in the Patriots’ preseason opener, Joe Milton looked calm, poised and electric with his arm and legs on Thursday night.



Presumed Week 1 starter Jacoby Brissett was given just a single drive in the first preseason game while Drake Maye — the team’s first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft – also received a single drive. 

Veteran Bailey Zappe got the bulk of the snaps before Milton took over...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Joe Milton III Drops First Thoughts After Patriots' Preseason Opener

When the New England Patriots selected North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, they knew he was a raw and unpolished product. Maye possesses the requisite size and arm talent to become an elite quarterback, but it takes much more than just physical tools to succeed in the NFL. In the ideal scenario, Maye would spend his entire rookie season working on his mechanics and adjusting to the professional game. New England's brass is at least attempting to take a patient approach with Maye, as the team brought back former backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett to serve as their stopgap starter this season.

New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye completed his first NFL pass in Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers.
The pass was completed through the rain to running back Antonio Gibson, who signed with the team as a free agent in March. The play itself was a screen pass, and Gibson was able to weave his way for a first down.
Maye is looking to be the centerpiece for a Patriots offense that desperately needs a restart. The quarterback is a major piece of the offensive overhaul for the organization, and he took his first step with the completed pass.
