New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is among NFL.com's second-year breakout candidates.
Maye is coming off a rookie campaign that saw him record 2,276 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The North Carolina product showed plenty of promise and even earned a Pro Bowl invite in his rookie season.
NFL.com's Mark Ross made his case for Maye to have a strong second year. He cited the Patriots’ effort to build around the young quarterback with an improved offensive line and more weapons.
Ross wrote:
"The team wasted no time adding key veteran pieces around Maye this offseason, including WRs Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, OT Morgan Moses, OG Wes Schweitzer and C Garrett Bradbury.
