What kind of leader and teammate do you think Drake May is and will be?
00:05
Because I feel like, you know, we talk a lot about on-the-field stuff,
00:07
and with these quarterbacks, there's been such a wide range post-Tom Brady
00:11
of on-field success, but just how they're viewed in the locker room,
00:15
that's obviously a position that sort of is forced into being a leader.
00:20
And so whether it was Cam or Mack or Bailey Zappi or Brissette
00:23
or whatever else, how do you see Drake May filling those shoes?
00:28
I think he's very, very well-respected and liked because he is such a regular guy.
00:34
There's no pretense to him.
00:36
There's no prettiness to him.
00:37
There's a grittiness to him, a nice rhyme there.
00:41
To me, I think that his upbringing as having grown up in an athletic family
00:46
with a dad who played professional football and high-level college football,
00:51
brothers who played, he just understands the dynamic of a locker room
00:55
and a group male atmosphere, for lack of a better word, that has that dynamic to it.
01:02
So I think that he's excellent in that capacity.
01:05
What I'll be interested to see is, when you look at Brady or Bledsoe,
01:10
they were standard bearers for being able to carry the message of the team
01:16
to the media in different ways.
01:19
I'll never forget Brady in 2005 after Marty Schottenheimer said in the postgame
01:25
after a San Diego Chargers win over the Patriots, hey, man, they've got so many injuries over there.
01:31
At some point, it has to break.
01:33
And that was a team the Patriots had just won two consecutive Super Bowls.
01:37
It was kind of innocuous.
01:38
Brady got to the podium on that Wednesday, and he said he shouldn't talk about our team.
01:42
The nerve of him to talk about our team.
01:45
We're fine.
01:45
We don't need sympathy.
01:46
And I'm paraphrasing.
01:47
We don't need the sympathy from Marty Schottenheimer or excuses made for us.
01:52
It was amazing, and it was interesting to see.
01:56
How will Drake May embrace that kind of messaging?
02:00
How will he embrace being the person who is not just the megaphone for whatever message
02:09
Brable is sending, but also a megaphone for how he wants his locker room to approach things?
