Other than Schooler, Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez had a good argument to be named to the Pro Bowl. The second-year player has been an elite cover cornerback this season. In 16 starts, Gonzalez has routinely covered the opposing team’s best wide receiver. He has two interceptions, 11 passes defended, and 59 total tackles.

Special teams ace Brenden Schooler was named to the Pro Bowl on Thursday, the lone member of the Patriots to land a spot. The 6-foot-1-inch, 210-pounder, in his third season, was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Texas in 2022.

The AFC and NFC Pro Bowl teams were announced, and just one member of the New England Patriots is headed to Orlando.

Maye, who’s completed 66.8% of his passes for 2,276 yards with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season, has been a major bright spot in an otherwise bleak Patriots season. Maye was asked what stands out about how he’s improved since his final game at UNC last November.

The New England Patriots enter the finale in possession of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. But Drake Maye intends on finishing his rookie year on the field.

After a surprisingly good run playing on the worst team in the NFL, Drake Maye’s rookie season is almost over, and depending on the condition of his right hand, he may not even play in the contest. Have things gone as the pride of UNC planned?
