"Most of the conversation surrounding the Patriots this season, besides how they've put together a much better year than anyone predicted, has been about Drake Maye's second-year rise and the impeccable addition of Mike Vrabel as the new head coach. The combination, along with the rest of the coaching staff and upgraded roster, has led them to a 13-3 record and on the cusp of winning the AFC East and No. 1 seed."
"It is a nightmare scenario for the AFC and the rest of the NFL, as Maye has been playing like a legitimate MVP candidate and has put himself on the map much sooner than anyone outside of New England hoped for. After his nearly perfect day against the Jets, it was clear his teammates and coaches were even more thankful to have him under center, and Vrabel said as much when speaking to reporters."
Drake Maye experienced a strong second-year rise while new head coach Mike Vrabel and an upgraded coaching staff and roster helped the Patriots reach a 13-3 record and near the AFC East title and No. 1 seed. Maye has played like a legitimate MVP candidate and has surged onto the national radar much sooner than expected. He delivered a nearly perfect performance against the Jets, prompting clear appreciation from teammates and coaches. Vrabel stated that he does not want anyone else leading the offense. Maye's poise and leadership at 23 reflect offseason moves that accelerated his development and production, making him a serious MVP contender.
