New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye sat down for an interview on “Up & Adams” and named three “free agent” star receivers he would like to “bring into the mix” in New England.
Kudos to host Kay Adams for phrasing the question in a way to keep the collusion crowd at bay.
Those players, who aren’t really free agents, were Houston Texans’ Nico Collins, Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase and Minnesota Vikings’ Justin Jefferson.
All three would be tremendous additions to the Patriots’ struggling wide receivers room. Collins is coming off a season that saw him record 68 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns.
Chase had a career-year with 127 catches for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Jefferson did his part to excite the fans as well with 103 catches for 1,533 yards and 10 touchdowns.
“Ja’Marr is obviously a great answer,” said Maye. “Another receiver there that I met? Nico Collins was awesome. …Justin Jefferson, he’s an easy person to bring to Foxborough.”
Maye could certainly benefit from a top receiving weapon coming to the Patriots.
He got a taste of it at the Pro Bowl. We’ll see if New England can get him a No. 1 receiving target to benefit from more permanently.
