Maye says watching his head coach get involved is inspiring and sets the right tone amid Patriots training camp, per ESPN's Mike Reiss.
"That's what we're trying to build," Maye said. "And I think it starts with the head coach. The intensity, bringing it every day, taking no crap rather on the field. But also, it comes at a time where, with our guys offensively, get over there, get some tussles, kind of, have some penalties, and extra after the whistle, can get us in trouble. But, for our mentality, I like it. That's what you want. I mean, I almost got in there. But, I think maybe another day. Maybe."
