""Obviously, I was probably the last choice," Maye said of his status as an alternate last year. "They finally got somebody to go. I was a rookie ... but it was awesome to be around the older players and veterans and quarterbacks. Joe Burrow and Russell Wilson ... he went to some Super Bowls. I got to spend some time with him. For me, it was awesome.""
""I think there's numerous guys on our squad that I think are deserving. I don't want to leave out anybody's name. But I don't see frustration from the guys [who weren't picked]," Maye said. "They want to focus on the games ahead and what we can do this season as a team. They're less worried about individual statistics and awards and that's what's cool about this team and makes me want to be that way as well.""
Drake Maye was named a Pro Bowl participant for a second consecutive year after serving as an alternate the previous season. He credited time spent around veteran quarterbacks such as Joe Burrow, Russell Wilson, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff and Sam Darnold for valuable experience and acknowledged feeling out of place as a rookie. Maye has led New England to the top of the AFC standings amid an emergent MVP candidacy. He said multiple teammates deserve recognition, noted only he and cornerback Christian Gonzalez earned Pro Bowl spots, and emphasized the roster's focus on team goals over individual awards.
