New England Patriots quarterback Behren Morton is willing to do whatever it takes to learn.

The defending AFC Champions have their quarterback situation well in hand after Drake Maye’s MVP-caliber 2025 season. And after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Morton is not likely to take Maye’s place anytime soon. But while meeting virtually with the media after the draft, Morton said he is happy for the opportunity to learn from Maye.
