Slumps are common for second-year quarterbacks in the NFL, but fortunately, so are leaps. And it continues to grow inevitable that we'll see more of the latter from Drake Maye in his second season with the Patriots.
Maye did as much as he could with practically nothing as a rookie, but in Year Two, Eliot Wolf and Mike Vrabel have set their second-year quarterback up for a strong sophomore campaign.
There are no more excuses for Maye. He has the talent around him - on the field and with his coaching staff - to have a big year and to accelerate his growth.
