"Of course, Patriots fans have made sure to praise Maye, but so have national media members. That was recently on display in a Midseason Awards piece by FOX Sports' NFL writers. New England's young quarterback was named as the midseason MVP by the group, with NFL reporter Ben Arthur praising Maye for being "the NFL's most consistently dominant and efficient quarterback this season," before emphasizing how it's not even close."
"In Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, the former UNC star recorded at least 200 passing yards and a 100-plus passer rating for the eighth straight game. He's just the fourth quarterback in league history to accomplish that feat in a single season, according to Next Gen Stats. It so happens that the other passers to achieve the milestone - Peyton Manning (2004), Tom Brady (2007) and Aaron Rodgers (2011,2020) - all won MVP that season."
Drake Maye has transformed from a promising rookie into a dominant second-year quarterback leading the New England Patriots to a 7-2 start. FOX Sports' NFL writers named Maye the midseason MVP, citing exceptional consistency and efficiency. Maye produced at least 200 passing yards and a 100-plus passer rating in eight straight games, joining Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to do so. Through nine weeks, Maye led the NFL in completion rate, completion rate over expected and expected points added, aided by mobility and deep-throwing ability.
