Drake Maye gave New England Patriots fans something to cheer about during an otherwise disappointing 2024 season. In doing so, he silenced the naysayers who were skeptical about him being drafted as the Pats' next franchise quarterback at No. 3 overall.
Maye showed off his dual-threat talent with a 66.6 completion percentage, 2,276 passing yards, 15 touchdown passes, 421 rushing yards, and two rushing TDs. He often drew comparisons to Buffalo Bills star QB Josh Allen with his ability to throw deep downfield or take off running.
NBC Sports' Chris Simms was among those who weren't sold on Maye coming out of the draft.
