Watch new Patriots QB Drake Maye dazzle in college highlights image

On Thursday night, the New England Patriots, despite reportedly receiving trade offers, opted to stay at No. 3 overall and select North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye.

New England believes they have found their next franchise quarterback to lead the organization back to contention after a 4-13 year with Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe splitting reps under center.

For those who didn't have a chance to watch Maye's Tar Hell career, the Patriots released a 10-minute highlight tape on their YouTube channel.

If that doesn't get your blood pumping on a Friday morning, you might want to get checked by a doctor.
