""I think it's his attitude," Edelman said of Maye during his latest appearance on "The Herd." "Just talking to people over there, everyone talks about how he's so hungry to be coached, he's so hungry to learn, and it translates into how he looks when he's playing. He looks so confident, he makes it look so easy, and I think his relationship with Josh McDaniels has been awesome.""
""So I think his attitude is the one thing that stands out," Edelman added. "All these guys can throw the ball, all these guys can run the ball now- especially at that position. It's the guys that are really wanting to dive into the academics of football, learning situations, learning, 'alright, it's third and six in the red area let's not throw an interception, let's take the three points.' And he's shown that he's got that calm, cool, collected attitude and it's been real fun to watch.""
Drake Maye, 23, transformed the New England Patriots from a four-win team into a 14-win juggernaut in 2025 and emerged as an NFL MVP frontrunner alongside Matthew Stafford. Maye posted a 72.0 percent completion rate and delivered one of the most efficient seasons in NFL history, combining accuracy with deep-ball ability. His attitude — hunger to be coached, eagerness to learn, and calm, collected decision-making in situational moments — accelerated development and fostered a strong relationship with Josh McDaniels. Maye's situational discipline, avoidance of risky red-area reads, and consistent execution reduced turnovers and drove offensive efficiency, positioning him as a long-term team cornerstone.
