Drake Maye has established himself as a mobile quarterback with New England, posting 450 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns across 17 games in 2025 plus 421 yards and two scores in 13 games as a rookie. Through four 2026 contests, however, he has zero rushing touchdowns despite 136 yards on 23 carries, coinciding with a 4-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a 62.4% completion rate. His high scramble rate and recent 54-yard outing against Buffalo highlight ongoing ground production, while the Patriots' 2-2 record and upcoming schedule—including a Week 5 home matchup with Las Vegas—could influence designed runs or red-zone opportunities under the current offensive approach. Official injury reports and lineup changes will shape usage as the season progresses.
