My Take
Drake Maye signed up for the hardest job in American sports: quarterbacking the New England Patriots in the long shadow of Tom Brady. That alone makes me root for him. What makes me believe in him is the resume — leading the NCAA in total yards at North Carolina, winning ACC Player of the Year as a young passer, all in a six-foot-four frame built for the modern game. Players who handle that kind of early spotlight tend to have steady wiring. He will be measured against an impossible ghost for years, and honestly I find the patience that will demand more compelling than any single highlight reel.
