Terrific but balanced article from Bert Breer about Drake and why his best is yet to come.

Where some had QB gurus in first grade, Maye didn’t start working with one until after his freshman year of high school.

And that’s what makes projecting the third-year quarterback’s career interesting. As good as Maye was last season—he finished second in MVP voting and led a stunning 10-game turnaround as he guided the Patriots to their first post–Tom Brady Super Bowl appearance—the 23-year-old is just tapping into the athletic potential he’s flashed for a long time.

“I think last year could be a small step, and I’m not even talking stats-wise, but for me playing quarterback,” says Maye, a couple of hours after the morning workout, leaning back in a rocking chair on the porch. “It could only be a building block for what I think I can reach.”

 
His completion percentage should definitely go down, because he should be throwing the ball away more. That'd be true for any QB, but especially for him because of his small hands and penchant for fumbling when hit.

He could have a much better year with a lower completion percentage and worse overall efficiency stats.
