FOXBOROUGH \u2014 During Tuesday\u2019s mandatory minicamp practice, there were a couple of plays in which the Patriots\u2019 offense hurried to line of scrimmage, only for Drake Maye to take his time before snapping the football. <\/span><\/p>\n

Typically in an up-tempo, \u201cno-huddle\u201d situation, the offense wants to snap the ball as fast as possible. In this situation, however, the goal of the sequence was to test Maye. Coaches sent him to the line without a play call. Maye then took time to survey the defense, set the protections, communicate with the entire unit, and run a play of his choosing. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough to be a play-caller,\u201d Maye said Wednesday. \u201cIt\u2019s tough in this environment, when they got 18 seconds on the clock in and I\u2019m trying to do a hard count and try to get us in a play we like. I think it\u2019s awesome to challenge me and push my limits of knowing the offense and knowing what play looks good against the defense.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
