The addition of Mike Vrabel and many key free agents was important, but Drake Maye's second-year leap was the story of the season. He was the MVP runner-up and proved he is the right man for the job. He was unable to win the Super Bowl last season, but he's still young and may get even better.
In just his second season, Maye showed elite traits and accuracy. However, Julian Edelman recently shared which part of Maye's game he wants to see improve in his third season. "Year three, I want to see how he deals with the offensive line when they are not performing at their best," Edelman told Patriots Wire's Sophie Weller on Monday.
"There's going to be times where you can't get them blocked, but we still got to produce. And I think that's going to be the natural progression in his progression. " Maye was the most sacked quarterback of all-time in a single postseason.
He was sacked 21 times in the playoffs, breaking the previous record held by Joe Burrow. The offensive line was better than the previous season, but overall, it still needs to be better. However, Maye cannot just wait around for the offensive line to get better.
