Boston: So, did you catch the game? Drake Maye really showed off his skills, even though the Patriots lost to the Cardinals 30-17. He managed to score a touchdown both through the air and on the ground, which is pretty impressive for a rookie.
One play that stood out was this crazy shovel pass to DeMario Douglas. It was so good that former Patriots QB Brian Hoyer couldn’t help but compare him to Josh Allen. Hoyer said Maye’s pocket awareness is really improving, and you can see why everyone’s buzzing about him.
Hoyer pointed out how Maye didn’t just run when he had the chance. Instead, he kept his eyes downfield and made that slick pass at the last second. Hoyer thinks that’s what makes Maye special and why fans are excited about his future.
He also mentioned that the Patriots should let Maye use his skills more, like rolling out or doing some zone reads. It could really mess with the defense and open up the field for him.
Maye, being humble, said he still has a long way to go and praised Allen for his MVP-level play. He feels like he’s just starting to find his groove, and it’s nice to see that kind of growth.
Even Allen had some nice things to say about Maye, saying he thinks the young QB is going to be really good for a long time. They’re set to face off for the first time this Sunday in Buffalo, and it should be a fun matchup!
