Going into Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is in the middle of the MVP conversation, and he's only in Year 2. There was a lot of optimism that he would have a second-year jump, which many quarterbacks are expected to make, but nobody imagined he would soar to the heights he has already reached.
He has helped lead the Patriots to an 11-2 record, with 10 wins in a row, and not only at the top of the AFC East but also of the conference. That has him competing against Rams QB Matthew Stafford, a 17-year veteran, for the coveted league award, which has excited Patriots fans immensely.
