#Patriots QB Drake Maye on possibly making the playoffs:
“Coach Vrabel put it on the goals — winning the division, and making the playoffs, and having home playoff games. That’s been the goal in mind since we got here… If it happens to get there, that’d be some fun.”

#Patriots WRs coach Todd Downing on rookie WR Efton Chism:
“Efton Chism’s in here at 6am every single morning, and I’m sitting there with a cup of coffee waiting on him. If he’s not there at 6, I’m worried about him.“
The Chizzler’s time will come.
#Patriots RBs coach Tony Dews on rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson:

#Patriots WR DeMario Douglas on QB Drake Maye’s improvement:

Stefon Diggs on the #Patriots’ young WRs:
“They’re hungry… Efton got a little taste last week, and we were all excited for him, even Kyle… I know nobody wanted that go-ball more than Kyle. We’ve been itching for it all year long… Those guys are grinding. They want success.”
The #Patriots have spoken to teams about pass rushers ahead of the trade deadline, per @DMRussini.
Additionally, Russini says that New England has been fielding calls on some of their own players.
Things could unfold much differently than people expect…
