Updates from Week 2
Preseason Updates: Quarterbacks
Drake Maye has been consistently sharp throughout camp, showing command of the offense and taking care of the football. He did not throw an interception until the Friday night scrimmage, a notable improvement after 10 picks in 11 games last year. While he has not pushed the ball deep as much as some might like, he has built steady connections across his target group, with slot receiver DeMario Douglas emerging as a frequent option on mid-field crossers. Pats Pulpit's Brian Hines highlighted an impressive Wednesday practice featuring multiple efficient drives, despite some costly drops. This work came against a New England Patriots defense missing Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III, but praise for Maye's poise and arm talent has been consistent.
Preseason Updates: Running Backs
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has quickly emerged as the most explosive playmaker in the backfield. In the preseason opener, he returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, lowered his shoulder for a physical red-zone reception, and ripped off an 18-yard rush. He was the first running back removed from the game, which signals a strong regular-season role. He could even be the No. 1 option. Henderson split first-team reps evenly with Rhamondre Stevenson, who has been steady and reliable after last season's fumble issues. Antonio Gibson still has the talent to contribute but saw extended work with the second unit alongside Joshua Dobbs and Terrell Jennings. Rookie Lan Larison has drawn notice as a shifty returner and is pushing Jennings for a roster spot.
