3. Drake Maye, Patriots
Nobody has done more with less than New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. Following an impressive rookie season in a terrible environment, the UNC product has elevated his game to an elite level and currently has the Patriots sitting atop the AFC East with a 5-2 record. Several analysts across the league believed Maye could make a leap in Year 2, but nobody saw this coming.
After flashing promise as a rookie, Maye has turned into the best deep ball thrower in football by a considerable margin. He’s more than just a big-play threat too, as he’s completing passes at an absurd rate across the field, and he isn’t afraid to take off and scramble when nothing’s available. Only time will tell if he can maintain this level of play, but one thing’s for sure: the Patriots have their quarterback.
