Being set up to fail is the worst thing that can happen to anybody in professional sports, or any profession for that matter. It's safe to say that happened to Drake Maye during his rookie year with the Patriots. 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 Patriots' offseason was dedicated to surrounding Maye with the help needed to ensure not only his success, but also that the team would climb out of the AFC East basement.
