"As New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continues to push for an MVP award in just his second season in the pros, the Tom Brady comparisons are only going to get louder. While Maye obviously has mountains to climb before he is even in the same galaxy as Brady from a legacy point of view, even those who had multiple championship runs stop at the feet of Brady are seeing many of the same telltale traits that helped No. 12 hit that exalted tier."
""Just how calm and cool Drake is when he throws the ball...I think that speaks to his poise and how confident he is in this system," Manning said. "I spoke to Drake this week. He's watching old plays of Tom Brady. I can't tell you what a huge advantage that is when you have the same offensive coordinator that Tom Brady had, and you're watching cut-ups of him in that Patriots uniform from 15 years ago.""
Drake Maye is generating strong MVP buzz in his second NFL season, with Tom Brady comparisons growing due to similar poise and preparation. Peyton Manning praised Maye's calmness and noted Maye is studying Tom Brady film while working with Brady's former offensive coordinator. Maye is producing top passing numbers and combining an extremely vertical style with high completion rates, creating both big plays and efficiency. The Patriots' offensive line is questionable and the receiving corps beyond Stefon Diggs is limited, yet Maye continues to perform at an elite level. A win on Monday Night would boost New England's AFC standing.
