"Much of the excitement has rightfully centered around second-year quarterback Drake Maye's elevation from rising star to shortlist MVP candidate. Albeit uber talented, Maye's breakout doesn't happen without a strong supporting cast surrounding him, and he's not afraid to admit it. The 2024 No. 3 overall pick expressed gratitude for his teammates following the Patriots' 27-14 win over the New York Jets, namely Stefon Diggs."
"The former's strong track record and role in Buffalo Bills passer and reigning MVP Josh Allen's ascension speaks for itself, which the latter clearly recognizes. "That trust was built up probably when I was in middle school [and] when he was playing in the league," "It was long ago. Guys like him, Hunter [Henry] and Mack [Hollins], you trust those guys for what they've done in this league. I just try to give them chances.""
