Drake Maye faced significant challenges during his rookie season due to a weak roster. The Patriots have focused their offseason efforts on improving his situation by signing high-profile players like Stefon Diggs and drafting key positions like left tackle Will Campbell. This strategy aims to enhance Maye's performance, ensuring he has the support he needs to rise as the franchise quarterback. With better protection and additional offensive talent, expectations are high for Maye's second season after a promising rookie year marred by a lack of weapons.
Being set up to fail is the worst thing that can happen to anybody in professional sports, or any profession for that matter.
Despite a less-than-stellar roster around him, Maye had a solid rookie campaign, setting the table for what hopefully is a great generation of football in New England.
The presence of a top receiver in Diggs will aid Maye, and the rebuilt offensive line won't have Maye running for his life this season.
Maye's numbers as a rookie weren't spectacular but were eye-popping in the context of the Patriots' lack of weapons, and Stevenson's inconsistencies and fumbling issues.
