- Drake Maye is having fun giving Josh McDaniels grief over his ‘sibling rivalry’
FOXBOROUGH - Much ado has been made about all of Josh McDaniels ties with the Houston Texans coaching staff.
The one getting the most attention is the sibling rivalry with Josh and his younger brother Ben, who is the offensive passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach with the Texans.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who has three older brothers who all play sports, appears to be having the most fun with respect to McDaniels’ sibling contest.
According to Patriots quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant, Maye has made a point of constantly ribbing McDaniels on the subject.
“There’s some friendly banter going on between Drake and Josh and the McDaniels war,” Grant said. “But we try to make it about us and what we’re going to do.”
Friendly banter?
“He’s trying to get Josh riled up. Josh is a very competitive person himself,” Grant said, “so I think Drake tries to nudge him a little bit, which is fun for the room.”

McDaniels addressed the sibling rivalry earlier in the day, saying it was probably of more interest to their parents, but admitted it was compelling to be competing with his sibling.
“We’re looking forward to the opportunity ... he’s trying to beat us like we’re trying to beat him,” McDaniels said of brother Ben. “We compete in almost anything we do, honestly, which is kind of fun, and this will be no different.”
