NFL - The Athletic on Drake Maye
From the article
Maye's elevated sack rate (8.7 percent) is one concern. The kid throws a really good go-ball, which will pair well with A.J. Brown. Maybe it's his youth, but I think Josh McDaniels does a phenomenal job of packaging things within a game plan to take some of the pressure off of Drake.
STACKED’s take
Maye's 8.7% sack rate is a concern; McDaniels' scheme masks limitations.
Maye's elevated sack rate of 8.7 percent is a concern. A GM noted: "I think most good quarterbacks know how to get rid of the football." A defensive coach whose team faced Maye early in the season said: "The kid throws a really good go-ball, which will pair well with A.J. Brown. Maybe it's his youth, but I think Josh McDaniels does a phenomenal job of packaging things within a game plan to take some of the pressure off of Drake. He can do what they want him to do offensively, but at the same time, how much are they really asking him to do?" Voters whose teams faced Maye later in the 2025 season were higher on him than those who faced him earlier, suggesting early-season performance concerns.
