New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye opened up about what it was like throwing to Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase at the Pro Bowl.
“Yeah, it is pretty nice. It is pretty nice,” Maye admitted, during an appearance on “Up & Adams.” “But hey, we got some guys in Foxborough that are doing their thing, so I gotta do a better job of getting them the rock.”
Maye had two touchdowns and two interceptions during the flag football game. He connected with Chase and fellow rookie, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., for the scores.
It was part of a whirlwind week for the UNC product, who made the most of his time at the annual event.

One has to wonder if the Patriots will spend money in the offseason to get their quarterback an elite receiver. Chase is still under contract, but his teammate, Tee Higgins, is expected to be the top free agent receiver on the market.
There’s at least a chance that Maye could be throwing to a Bengals receiver in New England in 2025.
