"Much of that confidence stems from the rapid rise of Drake Maye, whose poise and growth throughout the season have given New England a chance few expected back in September.

"The North Carolina product finished runner-up behind Matthew Stafford in one of the closest MVP races the NFL has seen in years, following a spectacular sophomore season that saw him finish with 31 touchdowns, eight interceptions, 4,394 yards, and a league-best 72% completion rate.
