Drake Maye has been one of the more elusive quarterbacks in the NFL this season when it comes to gaining yards on the ground.
The 2024 first-round pick has already rushed into the end zone twice this season and is averaging over eight yards per carry.
Even though Maye’s legs have allowed him to generate several explosive chunk-yardage plays, that mobility and knack for fighting through contact gives New England’s punchless offense an effective short-yardage weapon when the team needs to move the chains.
Several of those critical opportunities presented themselves during Sunday’s matchup against the Cardinals.
