Patriots’ No. 3 draft pick Drake Maye wraps up first taste of NFL workouts at rookie minicamp

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England quarterback Drake Maye’s day at rookie minicamp wasn’t done, not by a long shot.

The No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft was just getting started after wrapping up practice on Saturday. After all, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said Maye had been at the team facility “all night” on Friday.

“We’ll be here till 7, 8, 9 o’clock. Go in for a lift, then we have some meetings,” Maye said after practice behind Gillette Stadium. “The best thing about minicamp is being around the guys for the first time. We’re at the hotel together. We’re right across the hallway from each other, so we’ll watch the film and look at the scripts for the next day together.

“We’ve got nothing else to do up here. Why not focus on football?”

The laser focus already has rubbed off on fellow rookies, including wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk, who was drafted one round after Maye.
