Ryan Porter, Maiava's quarterbacks coach, stated that while people tend to get frustrated with being backups, Maiava's proactive approach and dedication stood out: 'Most backups at that moment would get frustrated with the process. They wouldn't be as dedicated or proactive. They lose focus.' This mindset allowed him to better prepare for future opportunities.
Maiava expressed his gratitude for the time he spent learning from the sidelines, stating excitement about his development during the past season: 'It's been phenomenal for me, just learning a lot from the game.' This reflects his positive outlook on the challenges he faced as a backup.
