There are moments worth remembering in the life of a young NFL quarterback. The moment he lifts his jersey next to Roger Goodell on draft night. The moment he throws his first touchdown pass. The moment he leads his team to his first fourth-quarter comeback. And the moment a receiver gets in his face and demands the ball, now.
Drake Maye has had his moments in his one season of the NFL: touchdowns, wins (a few) and a Pro Bowl berth. (Yes, as a replacement for Josh Allen, but still.) One element of the game he’s lacked: a true WR1 as a target.
