Tight ends were long neglected under Sam Howell’s tenure, but Drake Maye is helping them see a little sunshine.
Phil Longo and Sam Howell led Carolina’s offense to some truly spectacular heights with a passing attack capable of piling up yards and points with Howell’s accurate deep ball. But while Dyami Brown, Dazz Newsome, and later Josh Downs feasted, the tight ends had to beg for scraps.
No longer.
Drake Maye has been just as, if not more impressive than Howell in certain respects. One thing he’s done more of is hit his tight ends for big plays early and often.
