"Most recently, he had a stratospheric 82.6 percent completion against the Steelers in a loss. Yet, against Carolina, he elevated his game to an even loftier level. He completed 82.3 percent of his passes, threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, and ran for another touchdown. ESPN has Maye's passer rating at a lofty 155.6."
"A completion percentage of 74 or 75 percent was predicted for Maye this season, assuming the offensive line and wide receivers were improved as thought. It wasn't clear that they had before Carolina, but perhaps even the O-line has now turned the corner. If so, Maye has just scratched the surface of what he and the team may accomplish the rest of the season"
The New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers 42-13 with 23-year-old Drake Maye delivering an elite performance. Maye was the third-overall pick in the 2024 draft and is described as a franchise-changer. Before Carolina, Maye had a 72.6% completion rate despite an offensive line that allowed 12 sacks across early games, and he posted an 82.6% completion against the Steelers. Against Carolina he completed 82.3% of passes for 202 yards, two passing touchdowns, no interceptions, and one rushing touchdown, yielding a 155.6 passer rating per ESPN. Predicted completion rates of 74–75% could still rise if the line and receivers continue improving.
