Austin Hooper has returned to the New England Patriots after a stint with the Raiders, recognizing the familiarity of Josh McDaniels' offensive system. With innovations tailored to quarterback Drake Maye’s dual-threat capabilities, Hooper notes the precision in McDaniels' approach. As Maye matures, Hooper observes a significant improvement in his composure and understanding of the game, contrasting his initial overwhelming experience as a top pick. The rapport between Maye and Hooper, built over the past season, reflects positively on their collective performance going into 2023.
"[McDaniels is] still very smart. I mean same system. I think he's incorporated a couple things that Drake [Maye] likes."
"When you're a top pick coming into this league, you're drinking out of a fire hose... You can tell, just walking around, his shoulders are a little lower. Just more relaxed."
