NEP • QB • #10
Standing in with a more traditional quarterback frame and game, Maye (6’4/223) nevertheless offers the running ability and big-play threat the modern NFL increasingly demands of its signal callers. A willing deep passer, Maye looked down the field at UNC and found success when doing so, posting PFF’s highest deep passing grade for 2023. He was also prudent and cautious in the process, generating 32 “big-time throws” to only three “turnover worthy plays.” That being said, overall passing inconsistency does show up on tape, particularly with his touch and placement. Although Maye handles pressure well, he is merely solid as opposed to exceptional off-script. A former basketball player, he does boast excellent body control, and looks athletic in the open field. Solidly built, Maye can absorb a hit without heading to the sideline. There is enough projectability to the 21-year-old’s game to justify a top-three pick at American sports’ most important position. The Pats may also give him some time to develop behind journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Though Brissett won’t hold him off for long, Maye could spend the first few games of his career on the bench.
