Concerns About Mobile Quarterback Safety Arise from Drake Maye's Injury: A Look at New England Patriots' Concussion Protocol

Monday, October 28th, 2024

According to coach Jerod Mayo, rookie Patriots quarterback Drake Maye's skill in scrambling and running comes with certain dangers. After experiencing a concussion, it is seen as a chance for learning and growth.

Mayo highlighted how crucial it is for quarterbacks to protect themselves, mentioning the risks associated with choosing to run.

Maye encountered a concussion following a hit in the first quarter. Although he initially continued playing, he was later taken out when the NFL called for a more detailed evaluation.

The concussion diagnosis caught Mayo off guard, and he expressed doubts regarding Maye's availability for the next game against the Titans.

Maye had already scored a touchdown run earlier in the match and has an average of 8.7 yards per carry so far this season.

Jacoby Brissett stepped in for Maye and orchestrated the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, substantially increasing the Patriots' chances of victory from 23%.

Brissett commented on Maye's situation, expressing hope for his quick recovery and acknowledging the impact of his injury.
