"The New England Patriots are sitting at the top of the AFC East standings after six games. Heading the AFC East after only six games under new Head Coach Mike Vrabel has to be considered a surprise. And without doubt, the key factor has been the meteoric rise of Drake Maye, who's now Pro Football Focus's third-ranked quarterback in the NFL after Week 6."
"PFF makes no bones about how highly they rank Maye after his first six 2025 games, placing him as the third-best quarterback in the NFL heading into Week 7. Through the first six weeks, the New England Patriots are showing significant improvement with a 4-2 record, already tying their win total for 2024. A big part of their resurgence has been the play of Drake Maye, who is quickly proving himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL this year."
The New England Patriots sit atop the AFC East after six games with a 4-2 record that already matches their 2024 win total. New Head Coach Mike Vrabel's 2025 offseason roster transformation and strategic leadership have been central to the team's early surge, including an away victory over the Buffalo Bills. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye has delivered a meteoric rise, earning Pro Football Focus's third-ranked quarterback spot after Week 6 and serving as the primary catalyst in the roster's turnaround. At 23 years old, Maye's developing superstardom has shifted the Patriots toward legitimate contention for top NFL honors.
