DRAFTED: Round 1, No. 3 overall\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maye has captivated the football world with a spectacular start to his second season, spawning conversation that he could soon join the big four at quarterback (Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, Josh Allen<\/a>, Lamar Jackson<\/a> and Joe Burrow<\/a>). Obviously, the 23-year-old needs to keep this up in order to reach such rarefied air, but he has made a quantum leap under the direction of new head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Through the first seven weeks of the season, Maye leads the NFL with a 75.2 percent completion rate, while also posting sparkling figures in TD-to-INT ratio (12:2), yards per attempt (8.6) and passer rating (116.4). He’s been staggeringly effective downfield, too, boasting a perfect 158.3 passer rating on throws of 20-plus air yards. (That’s ridiculous.) With the 5-2 Patriots sitting alone atop the AFC East, Maye has entered the MVP discussion and surpassed his peers as the QB1 of a stacked 2024 crop at the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DRAFTED: Round 1, No. 3 overall\u00a0 Maye has captivated the football world with a spectacular start to his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[4687,15947,136109,14354,8850,1826,47178,1804,58299,15358,110086,1812,6337,1820,15356,1815,977,349,6257,1239,136110,41421,8852,99,3851],"class_list":["post-249490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-analysis","tag-brock-bowers","tag-byron-murphy-ii","tag-caleb-williams","tag-chicago-bears","tag-drake-maye","tag-edgerrin-cooper","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-jared-verse","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-joe-alt","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-malik-nabers","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-new-york-giants","tag-nfl","tag-no-minute","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-quinyon-mitchell","tag-scouts-notebook","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports","tag-washington-commanders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
