"Luckily, the Jerod Mayo era yielded one good thing, and that was the selection of Drake Maye in the first round of last year's draft. Despite only starting 16 games as of the win over the Panthers, the young quarterback is already proving to be exactly what the team has been looking for over the last five years, and he further proved that on Sunday with a nearly perfect performance."
"Over the last three games, Maye has recorded an incredible stat line that is rarely seen by NFL quarterbacks, placing him on a list that consists of names like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, and Kurt Warner, making his performance that much more impressive. Because he recorded 2+ touchdowns and a 75%+ completion in three consecutive games, he is now second all-time to have a streak in three games, only behind Brady, who recorded four games in 2007 with that kind of stat line."
New England's quarterback situation struggled after Tom Brady's departure, with Mac Jones providing only brief uplift. Jerod Mayo's first-round selection of Drake Maye has given the team a promising young starter. Maye started 16 games and delivered a near-perfect performance against the Panthers. His physical traits and mobility have drawn comparisons to Josh Allen. Maye produced a rare streak of three consecutive games with 2+ touchdown passes and at least 75% completion, placing him among elite quarterbacks and making him second all-time for such a streak, trailing only Tom Brady's four-game run in 2007.
