Drake Maye was promising as a rookie, and he had New England Patriots fans excited about the future. Just one year later, the future is now in New England. The Patriots are 7-2 after nine weeks, and the play of their second-year quarterback is a big reason why.
Of course, Patriots fans have made sure to praise Maye, but so have national media members.
That was recently on display in a Midseason Awards piece by FOX Sports' NFL writers. New England's young quarterback was named as the midseason MVP by the group, with NFL reporter Ben Arthur praising Maye for being “the NFL’s most consistently dominant and efficient quarterback this season,” before emphasizing how it’s not even close.
