"Vrabel executed one of the most outstanding offseason transformations of an NFL roster ever. It should garner him attention for the NFL's "Executive of the Year". Anyone doubting Vrabel's central role in reshaping his roster need only compare and contrast the 2024 offseason (absent the no-brainer Drake Maye) with 2025's. Case closed. The biggest beneficiary is Drake Maye."
"ESPN: Drake Maye was magnificent... Maye was pulled with 5:31 remaining in the third quarter, giving his MVP candidacy one final surge by finishing 19-of-21 for 256 yards and five touchdowns. NFL: New England clinched an 8-0 mark away from home with Sunday's blowout. Drake Maye also bolstered his MVP case with five TD passes (four in the first half), each to a different receiver, including rookie Efton Chism III."
"The Ringer: Maye did in a performance that might have wrapped up the MVP race...By dropback success rate (87.5 percent), it was the best game a quarterback has played this century. Maye also posted the highest QBR (99.8) since ES"
Drake Maye delivered a dominant performance, completing 19 of 21 passes for 251 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-10 win over the Jets. The performance significantly elevated Maye's MVP candidacy and included touchdown passes to multiple receivers, including rookie Efton Chism III. Mike Vrabel oversaw a rapid offseason transformation that turned a bottom-tier offense into a prolific unit, reshaping the roster between 2024 and 2025. The team improved its road record, and advanced metrics noted an exceptional dropback success rate and an elite QBR, underscoring both individual excellence and systemic offensive improvement.
