Drake Maye is a rising quarterback with the New England Patriots. A star player at the University of North Carolina, he was the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, and in his second season he guided the Patriots to a historic turnaround. The team’s 10-win improvement tied a league record, and New England finished first in the American Football Conference (AFC) East division and advanced to the Super Bowl in the postseason. However, the team lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 29–13. Maye’s stellar performance in 2025 made him a contender for the NFL’s MVP award; in one of the closest votes, Maye lost to Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams.
