It’s one of the most difficult jobs in all of sports — and also one of the most taxing, flummoxing and, often times, frustrating. 

Let’s call it this: 

Follow the GOAT. 

Drake Maye is uniquely positioned to play Follow the GOAT better than it’s ever been played before. As recently as six years ago, Tom Brady was still the Patriots quarterback, the most successful pairing of franchise and QB still very much a thing. Brady’s last game as a Pat was Jan. 4, 2020, a 20-13 loss to Mike Vrabel’s Titans in a playoff game at Gillette Stadium.
