New England Patriots players are praising quarterback Drake Maye as the "best player in the NFL" following a decisive victory over the New York Jets. Maye has been instrumental in the team's current eight-game winning streak, leading the Patriots to a 9-2 record.
His performance against the Jets included completing 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions. These statistics place him among the league's top quarterbacks in adjusted QBR, passer rating, and total passing yards.
Maye has accumulated 20 touchdown passes against only five interceptions over 11 games. Teammates, including offensive tackle Will Campbell and tight end Hunter Henry, have expressed strong confidence in Maye, with some calling him their Most Valuable Player.
Wide receiver Stefon Diggs referred to Maye as the "commander of the offense," highlighting his leadership and ability to keep the team organized. Maye has reportedly embraced offseason challenges to improve his leadership skills under the new coaching staff.
