Pete Prisco ranks Drake Maye 61st of the top 100 players of 2026

[Rob0729]

We all know Pete Prisco is a joke, but this is pretty pathetic. He has Drake at 61st and basically he is so low because of his playoff performance. But he has Joe Burrow at 5th, Mahomes at 7, and Lamar Jackson at 10. For 2026?!? None of those guys were remotely close to their elite selves in 2026.

He obviously discounts their injuries for their talent. But he has Jayden Daniels at 69 behind Trevor Lawrence (65) and right before Caleb Williams at 70. Daniels when healthy is far better than either of those guys at least at this point.

Christian Gonzales is the only other Patriot on the list at 29.

The players voting on the top 100 list is what you guys should actually be concerned about. It will be interesting when the full list is revealed.

The other list which will release in mid July is when NFL execs vote on the best players at each position.

I have no problems with Mahomes @ 7 but Burrow who's always injured @ 5 and Lamar who's quickly joining him @ 10 is more than a stretch.

Another schedule shepherd. We’ll see how cliche this lame attempt of some random wannabes football knowledge looks by seasons end. Can’t wait, haven’t been this excited for a season to start since Brady was here.

Dude was a hardcore Peyton truther over Brady. I remember how Prisco stubbornly refused to make the 2007 Patriots his #1 ranked team over Peyton Manning's Colts until later in the season. Lol

Maybe they didn't say his name correctly?

He loved verbally sparring with Tebow fans on twitter. Cracked me up

Is Pete Prisco still alive? I haven't this A-hole's name since he made his name by saying the Brady era Pats dynasty was built on luck.

No surprise then that he'd rank Maye as he has, then. I haven't read the list but I'm assuming it focuses on the luck of an easy schedule.

Laughable. Maybe Drake isn’t #2. Maybe he’ll regress. But the runner up to the mvp award can’t be in the 60s.

Hoping the new WRs light it up and NE keeps the good times rolling.

Drake May is #61 in the top 100 players....Are you on druugs pete?
