The New England Patriots, despite having a promising starter in Drake Maye, are exploring options to strengthen their quarterback depth. They recently hosted Jalon Daniels, a 23-year-old quarterback from the University of Kansas, for a pre-draft visit. Daniels, who played six seasons at Kansas, has impressive career statistics, including 9,282 passing yards and 67 touchdowns, alongside 1,451 rushing yards and 23 rushing touchdowns. However, he has faced challenges, completing only 59.6% of his passes in his last two seasons and throwing 19 interceptions. Despite these concerns, the Patriots are considering him as a potential late-round pick or undrafted free agent. If signed, he would join Maye and Tommy DeVito on the roster, likely serving as the third quarterback.
