STACKED’s take
MVP runner-up Maye gets elite WR A.J. Brown and improved O-line in year two
Drake Maye, 23 years old, finished second in MVP voting in 2025 while playing behind an average offensive line and throwing to an average group of pass catchers. The source projects significant upside: 'Imagine what Maye might do with a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver in Brown, a legitimate No. 2 in Romeo Doubs and a revamped offensive line headlined by the addition of left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, all while in his second year in coordinator Josh McDaniels' offensive scheme.' The Patriots are leveraging Maye's cost-controlled rookie contract years to build a Super Bowl window, betting that adding elite receiving talent and offensive line support will elevate his production from an already MVP-caliber second-place finish.
