"One of the reasons why Diggs was confident coming to New England is the presence of Drake Maye. Speaking with the media on Wednesday, the veteran receiver explained that he has been impressed with his young quarterback since before they were teammates. Diggs referenced a game from the 2024 season, when he played against Maye and the Patriots while with the Houston Texans. He remembers the plays Maye made in that game, and thinking to himself, "He can spin it a little bit.""
"That game against Houston was actually the first start of Maye's career, and while the Patriots lost 41-21, the young quarterback did have a promising outing. He completed 20-of-33 passes for 243 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also added 38 yards on the ground. Since that start, Maye has significantly improved, and will play in a Super Bowl in just his second season."
Stefon Diggs signed with the New England Patriots in the offseason with the explicit goal of helping the team win a Super Bowl despite prior criticism after consecutive four-win seasons. The Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Diggs has been impressed with quarterback Drake Maye since before they were teammates, recalling Maye’s 2024 first start when Maye completed 20-of-33 passes for 243 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions, and rushed for 38 yards. Diggs called Maye’s maturation “second to none,” praised his rapid improvement, described their growing closeness, and identified Maye as an inspiration and great teammate. Diggs, in his 11th season, has assumed a leadership role.
