Drake Maye joins exclusive list of Patriots with his latest single-season feat

Prior to Sunday, only two quarterbacks in the history of the New England Patriots have thrown for 4,000 yards in a single-season.

Now, you must add one more to the list!

Drake Maye surpassed the 4,000-yard passing mark for the first time in his young NFL career. He joins Tom Brady (11 times) and Drew Bledsoe (2) as the only quarterbacks in franchise history to accomplish the feat.

Needing only 54 passing yards to reach the mark, it was expected that Maye wouldn't need long in his team's Week 17 game against the abysmal New York Jets.
