New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had an up-and-down rookie season but showed promise down the stretch. However, Maye did not have a lot of help around him and was constantly under pressure in 2024.
The Patriots' rookie finished with a 3-9 record, throwing for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. However, those numbers are similar to the rookie-season numbers of another former top quarterback pick in the AFC.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen finished his rookie season with a 5-6 record, throwing 2,074 yards and 10 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. After seven years in the NFL, Allen is a three-time Pro-Bowler and MVP winner.
