Drake Maye has demonstrated significant improvement during joint practices with the Vikings, according to Josh McDaniels. After an earlier turnover in preseason, Maye performed well, managing long-yardage situations and two-minute drills without further turnovers. He showcased his ability to connect with receivers during team drills. Despite being sacked six times, his performance remained solid, completing 4 of 7 passes without a turnover and leading a touchdown drive. This shows potential growth and capability against a strong Vikings defense.
"I was really excited by the way he handled these practices this week. Practice, by nature, is always difficult because you put yourself in a scenario where you run the same thing over and over again... We saw a lot of growth from him. Did a great job of taking care of the football."
"While Maye was 'sacked' six times during Thursday's practice, he didn't commit a turnover over the two joint practices. That's obviously encouraging, especially after Maye turned a play that should've been just a sack for the Commanders into a lost fumble... Maye also played a clean game on Saturday, completing 4 of 7 passes for 46 yards without a turnover."
