AFC Notes: Drake Maye, Allen Lazard, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots

Dolphins

After adding second-round OL Patrick Paul in the draft, Dolphins starting LT Terron Armstead believes Paul has shown all the flashes of someone who can have long-term success in the league. 

“You see the talent; you see the flashes,” Armstead said, via Adam Stites of the Dolphins Wire. “Things that he needs to learn and work on, which of course, but I like where heโ€™s at mentally. Heโ€™s tough, heโ€™s physical, strong, heโ€™s huge. His ability to move and mirror, stay in front of guys to finish a play has been impressive.”

“I like him a lot, I like him a lot. Heโ€™s going to be a really good player for a long time. We just got to keep working and fine-tuning some things techniques wise, mindset, a lot of pre-snap adjustments that he can kind of learn from. But that will come with time and experience.”

Jets

Jets WR Allen Lazard looks to get back on track after a down year in 2023 without his QB Aaron Rodgers

“It was tough, a really tough year,” Lazard said, via John Pullano of the team’s official website. “I think it was arguably the hardest year of my career. A lot of adversity, moving cities, having a new team and a new environment, obviously losing Aaron, that was detrimental for the team. After playing alongside him the last four seasons, I was trying to figure out how I still be impactful.”

Patriots

Patriots HC Jerod Mayo stated first-round QB Drake Maye will get reps with the first team although QB Jacoby Brissett is the starter for now.

“[I]tโ€™s the second week of training camp,” Mayo said, via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “We have a game here a week from now. Heโ€™ll have an opportunity to go out there and participate with, if you want to call them โ€˜The Ones,’ but we mix and match.”
