New England Patriots Host Top QB Prospects Ahead of 2024 NFL Draft

Written by Published

The New England Patriots are really getting into the pre-draft groove, meeting with top QB prospects Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels. Now, they've got their sights set on Michigan's J.J. McCarthy, hosting him for a visit.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero spilled the beans, mentioning that the Pats are wining and dining McCarthy on Sunday, followed by an official visit at Gillette Stadium on Monday.

Sitting pretty with the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, the Patriots are eyeing McCarthy, Maye, and Daniels, depending on who's left on the board when they make their move.

While the buzz is all about these top prospects, there's been no word on the Patriots reaching out to guys like Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr., who are expected to go later in the draft. That could change, though, as the draft is still over a week away. It's clear the Patriots are dead set on scouting the cream of the crop.

With Caleb Williams likely going No. 1 to the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders likely to choose between Maye, McCarthy, and Daniels, the Pats might have to decide between the remaining top QBs or think about trading down for more picks.
