Foxboro: So, Drake Maye is turning heads this season, right? People are starting to chat about him being in the same league as Josh Allen, which is pretty wild. His rookie year has been impressive, and he’s showing off some serious skills.
During a recent game against the Cardinals, he pulled off a shovel-pass touchdown that had everyone buzzing. Even though the Patriots are having a tough season, fans can still feel good about Maye’s potential. On NBC Sports Boston, Tom Curran and Mike Giardi had a deep dive into whether Maye could soon be a top-five QB like Allen.
Curran mentioned that while Allen has improved a ton since his rookie year, Maye seems to be starting from a better place. He’s not necessarily bigger or faster, but he’s making smart plays without the rookie mistakes that Allen had back in the day.
Giardi chimed in, saying that while Maye might not have Allen’s cannon of an arm, he’s already looking more polished in areas where Allen took years to catch up. It’s like he’s “Josh Allen Light,” if you will. He’s taking the easy throws and playing cool under pressure, something Allen didn’t master until later.
Maye was pretty humble about the comparisons, but Allen himself praised him ahead of their upcoming matchup. He said he sees a lot of potential in Maye and expects him to be a solid player for years to come.
Mark your calendars! The first showdown between Maye and Allen is happening this Sunday in Buffalo. It’s going to be exciting to see how it all plays out!
