It's downright impossible to compare any other quarterback in this era - or any era - to Tom Brady. What Brady did over his two-decade career will likely remain unmatched until the end of time, and the immortalized statue outside of Gillette Stadium will remind many fans of the Greatest Of All Time for generations.
But Drake Maye is already showing some Brady-like traits, and that's a good sign given many remain cautiously optimistic about what the Patriots' offense can do in Maye's second year.
The Boston Globe's Christopher Price, who is in Minnesota for New England's joint practices and preseason game with the Vikings, noted in a post on Bluesky that Maye's pocket presence and awareness are starting to grow and are somewhat reminiscent of Brady's.
