Won one of those. He\u2019s got two other wins to his credit, but those were Jacoby Brissett jobs that he got done after Drake Maye went down. There\u2019s certainly been great flashes, but it\u2019s a roller coaster, and you expect that with young players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think they surrounded him as well as they needed to. I think maybe we could have a similar argument as we go into this year as well. But to me, there\u2019s enough there to believe that he\u2019s on the up and there\u2019s a potential to climb up those rankings. And then when I look at someone like Bo Nix, I know Bo Nix, 29 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, threw for like 4,000 yards. That\u2019s an awesome year.\u00a0 Bo Nix physically is not capable of doing what Drake Maye does. Bo Nix had Sean Payton, who\u2019s one of the best offensive minds in football, crafting that for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you this right now, the Bo Nix that you see is probably about as good as the Bo Nix is going to be over the course of his career.\u00a0 Maybe he becomes the 14th or 15th best quarterback. I think Drake has a much higher ceiling if he reaches it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf_reveal lazy size-full wp-image-60579\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26411846_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Kyle Williams\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Eric Canha-Imagn Images)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He&#8217;s definitely got a better group to work with.\u00a0 Early impressions of draft picks Kyle Williams and running back TreVeyon Henderson appear to be positive. Both guys look like explosive players, which was certainly lacking in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Stefon Diggs should draw attention, hopefully opening things up for guys like Demario Douglas and whoever else ends up as part of that group.\u00a0 The offensive tackle position should also be better after the additions of first-round pick Will Campbell and free agent Morgan Moses.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, the groundwork is in place for Maye to have a better 2025.\u00a0 If he takes care of business, he&#8217;ll likely find himself a little higher among this group this time next offseason.<\/p>\n<p>And if all goes well, it will also potentially see the Patriots playing with some of those teams next January.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Portions of the above appeared in a recent daily news
