"We are pretty far-removed from the New England Patriots having to worry about finding the next Tom Brady or even coming up with an answer after the Mac Jones era seemed to flop. Now, the Patriots' franchise quarterback is truly cementing himself as "the guy," regardless of any past names who have come through the building. Drake Maye is here. He has arrived. He is the future of this franchise, and everybody in that locker room knows it."
"After the game on Monday night, wide receiver Stefon Diggs was asked about Maye and the comparison he's received to another one of his former quarterbacks, Josh Allen. Diggs acknowledged the comparison, but also offered some high, individual praise for his current quarterback. "I feel like it's a hell of a comparison to be compared to Josh Allen, but as you come into your own, Drake Maye has to be Drake Maye," Diggs told the media."
"Yet, as soon as this season kicked off, Diggs has proven to be a new man (Vikings and Bills fans might vehemently disagree). But Diggs' praise of Maye isn't the only evidence we have of the receiver's leadership on display. All night long on the live broadcast, Diggs was shown encouraging teammates and being there for his guys. It was obvious that he's taken a huge step forward, "I was just so proud of him coming in here and leading the team," Diggs said of Maye."
Drake Maye has emerged as the Patriots' franchise quarterback following a signature Sunday Night Football win over the Buffalo Bills. The victory has increased belief among fans and teammates and reinforced Maye's standing in the locker room. Stefon Diggs compared Maye to Josh Allen while emphasizing that Maye must develop his own style. Diggs displayed leadership on the broadcast by encouraging teammates and supporting Maye's growth. Diggs praised Maye's leadership and noted that a supporting cast of running backs and receivers helps young quarterbacks succeed. The moment signals Maye's arrival and growing confidence in his role.
