The Patriots QB is going to enter the top 12 QB conversation this season. The offensive environment in New England is going to improve for Maye with additions in free agency and the Draft. And I can't ignore his dual-threat skill set.
Among the 7 QBs in 2024 that hit 30-plus rushing yards - which includes Maye - five finished inside the top 6 scoring QBs on a per-dropback basis.
What the Pats QB did as a rookie in a terrible situation cannot be understated. He threw at least one TD pass in the 10 games he played fully as a rookie. That resulted in 18.1 fantasy points per game which would have ranked QB15 on the year.
