In the spring, veteran backup Tommy DeVito took the majority of the reps behind Maye.
However, rookie @Behren Morton has gotten more run in the early days of camp. DeVito had some inconsistent accuracy in the first three practices, so we'll see if he opens the door for Morton to start pushing for the backup role.

As the lone quarterback at rookie minicamp, Morton got all the reps during team drills and received some 1-on-1 coaching from offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Morton and the passing offense looked sharp in team drills, with Morton connecting on all 12 of his passes. He threw with impressive zip between the numbers as he fit the ball into some tighter windows. Along with five other rookies, Morton spoke about his early acclimation into the Pats offense. "It's great. A lot of reps, which is really beneficial right now," Morton said. "I'm just trying to maximize my opportunity every day, learn the playbook, and execute on the practice field."
