Browns vs Patriots in Week 8 will be a true test for QB Drake Maye compared to opposing defenses he’s faced already

Now under the watch of Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Maye has the Patriots at 5–2 and in first place in the AFC East. It's early yet, but perhaps comparing him to a two-time Super Bowl champion—even at the ripe age of 23—may just make sense.

Maye's sparkling effort included a 91.3% completion rate thanks to a 21-of-23 showing, which broke Brady's franchise record of 88.5. Brady previously set the record against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2009 when Maye was a 7-year-old football fan in Charlotte.

Breaking records is something Drake Maye would file in the interesting category. However, the most important goal for the second-year quarterback and the New England Patriots is winning football games.

In just his second NFL season, quarterback Drake Maye is doing some incredible things for the New England Patriots.

There have been several transformative quarterback classes throughout the storied history of the NFL. The crop of signal-callers who entered the league in 2024 could soon join the list.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye set a franchise record for completion percentage in a single game in Sunday's win over the Titans and he also did something that no one from any team had done in the Super Bowl era.
