It may be early in training camp, but there’s already a buzz in Foxborough — and it’s coming from the connection between rookie quarterback Drake Maye and veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

The Patriots’ newly-formed duo is quickly turning heads, with strong chemistry developing on and off the field. During the team’s opening practice sessions, Maye and Diggs connected on several crisp routes, including a highlight-reel deep ball that drew cheers from fans in attendance.

Coaches have praised Maye’s poise and accuracy, while Diggs’ route running and leadership have made an immediate impact on the young signal-caller’s development. For a team looking to rebound and rebuild under head coach Mike Vrabel, this new tandem offers hope — and maybe even some fireworks.

“They’re on the same page already,” one assistant coach noted. “That’s rare this early.”

While there’s still a long road ahead, Patriots fans have reason to be excited. If Maye and Diggs can continue to build this early chemistry, the offense could surprise a lot of people in 2025.
