FOXBORO — Drake Maye has a extremely promising start to his NFL career, but the Patriots quarterback is far from perfect, which is to be expected of a rookie.

Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was asked Thursday morning what areas he would like to see Maye improve on to become a more complete quarterback.

“I think his play-action passing needs to improve, just the ball handling there, we’re not quite where we need to be to get the most out of it. So that’s an area we’ve targeted for improvement,” Van Pelt said.
