"Drake Maye earned a pretty high honor on Saturday. However, it likely means he won't win MVP. The Patriots' quarterback was named second-team All-Pro, becoming the first offensive player in the organization to receive All-Pro honors since 2019. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford earned the first-team All-Pro spot over Maye. Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones was the only other player on the team to receive All-Pro honors."
"He was named second-team All-Pro as a returner, marking the second time in his career he was named All-Pro. In terms of the vote, Stafford received 31 of the 50 first-place votes at quarterback. Maye, meanwhile, earned 18 of the votes, while Bills' star Josh Allen was the only other quarterback to receive an All-Pro vote. Historically, the MVP winner has typically been named first-team All-Pro."
"Only two players were named MVP after failing to receive first-team All-Pro honors since 2000, and there have been only three instances in NFL history where a player has won MVP and not received first-team All-Pro honors in the same year. Steve McNair was one of them in 2003, as he won co-MVP with Peyton Manning after he was named second-team All-Pro. The other instance came last year, when Allen won MVP over Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson after being named second-team All-Pro."
Drake Maye was named second-team All-Pro and became the first offensive player in the Patriots organization to earn All-Pro honors since 2019. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford earned first-team All-Pro at quarterback with 31 of 50 first-place votes; Maye received 18 first-place votes. Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones was named second-team All-Pro as a returner, his second career All-Pro selection. Historically, MVP winners have typically been first-team All-Pros; only two players since 2000 won MVP without first-team All-Pro recognition. Josh Allen won MVP last year after being named second-team All-Pro, illustrating a rare exception.
