Drake Maye on his chemistry with #Patriots rookie WR Kyle Williams:
“It’s still got a good ways to go. I think we’ve had a lot of improvement getting him some more touches — he’s explosive with the ball in hands… He’s a big deep threat down the field. Just gotta try to get him the ball more in open space because he can make guys miss, run past guys. He’s doing a great job of being around the older guys and shoot, just trying to learn the system… He’s just getting better and better.”
#Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson on his performance this season:
“The whole season didn’t go the way I wanted to, but I’m a competitor. I like to say I’m relentless… Next day, next play, and just put my best foot forward every chance I get.”

#Patriots QB Drake Maye on veteran WR Stefon Diggs:
“He always says, ‘Just trust me.’ I trust him… He just keeps on showing up. Sometimes it may not be as many targets or catches each week, but his attitude, the way he approaches it, and the competitiveness in him is really cool to see and it’s contagious for us.”

BREAKING: The #Patriots are placing WR Mack Hollins on injured reserve due to an abdomen injury.
As a result, they have signed DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr. to the 53-man roster.
Big blow to the receiving room…
#Patriots OLB K’Lavon Chaisson on living in Boston:
“I love everything that comes with it. Everybody’s been truly loving and welcoming within New England, and Boston itself. I’m excited I had a chance to be here and witness this… The city itself is diehards.“
(🎥 @Patriots)
#Patriots LT Vederian Lowe on C Garrett Bradbury:
“He is one of the smartest offensive lineman I’ve ever played with. Having Garrett out there just boosts my confidence… He knows everything that’s going on and he’s gonna put everybody in the right positions. He wants the entire room to be successful.”
(🎙️Patriots Unfiltered)
#Patriots WR Kyle Williams says he can predict when he will blow by a DB based on their stance.
“Oh yeah off rip… I can just see your stance and then once the ball’s snapped, if you give me that one little step then I’m gone... Lightning McQueen — Ka-Chow baby.”
