The analysis then dives deep into the promising development of rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who is outplaying his draft class peers by showing a impressive balance of aggression and patience within Josh McDaniels' offensive structure. While they're still behind Buffalo, the combination of Vrabel's culture and Maye's potential as a future top-10 quarterback has finally brought legitimate hope back to New England. #SportsIllustrated Don't miss a video!
