The New England Patriots are on fire in the NFL, and it's fueled by their brilliant second-year quarterback, Drake Maye, who's right in the thick of the NFL's MVP discussion and occasioning thoughts of a 2001-like Patriots season. And it's not just outside observers who think he's special; his left tackle, rookie Will Campbell, thinks he's the best player in the NFL, as well.
Drake Maye has taken Mike Vrabel's Patriots from the bottom of the NFL barrel the past two seasons to a 9-2 record after 11 games in 2025. Of course, he's had help.
