āI wanna talk about Drake Maye. I was not a believer, Iāll sit here and Iāll own it,ā Stanback said. āI have become a believer and I have no choice but to be a believer, because of the consistency that Drake Maye has exuded in this offense with Josh McDaniel. This kid, he is absolutely lights out. This is kid isnāt putting his team in bad situations. On the year, 71% completion, 19 touchdowns, only five interceptions. He is getting the ball to everybody.ā
Maye will face a seemingly easy opponent, the New York Jets, in Week 11. He will have a big chance to extend the Patriotsā good moment and confirm that he is one of the best players in the league this season.
