Drake Maye | 2023 Highlights 

I'm a Commanders fan, and as much as I like Jayden, I like Maye even more. He will be better in the long term, and he has played in the Kingsbury-style offense, where he balled out. I would be happy with either one, but Maye's potential is through the roof.

Great ball control on these throws. Going to be nice in the winter/fall for the Pats

We have pick 3. He's ours Foxborough Massachusetts welcome Drake

I’m an eagles fan who lives in the dc area when I saw the commanders take Daniel’s over maye I couldn’t help but laugh this guy’s potential is really high

I like his mobility although that’s not what he features I just think of the times I’d see cousins get out in the open and be able to walk for a first down yet throw it to a guy who’s covered those are some of the decision-making things I won’t miss as far as how good this guy will be who knows but it’s time to take a chance

Tez Walker for sure has a shot in this league.

How do you get highlights of the real players I wanna learn how to make them

IF Vikings can find a miracle to move up a whole lot and get Maye. they will see a brilliant career and maybe a Superbowl.

For those of you stating that he has a weak arm with the under throws, You’re coached to underthrow a receiver when they’re wide open - ensure the completion. Secondly, some of these deep throws are to guys who are his third or fourth read. By the time he clears out from pressure and checks off his other reads, they’re 40-45 yards downfield. He has an above average NFL arm.

Drake Maye - Welcome to the Minnesota Vikings #SKOL

So i wasn't impressed at all the first time i watched. But i only watched a few minutes and figured i had seen enough. Lots of underthrown balls. But i decided to watch the whole thing and analyze each play since i was getting some conflicting views. The highlights definitely got better later in the video. Lots of good deep passes in stride. Problem with this video is it doesn't give you the whole picture of this guy because it is all big plays and mostly tds. It doesn't show how accurate he is throughout a whole game. Im gonna watch some entire game replays so i can see all his plays. Im gonna say so far he looks pretty damn good and creative like Mahomes to make things happen for your team. I would definitely be okay with the Vikes taking this guy. In my defense of not liking him at first, only 3 out of the first 12 plays were good accurate plays. Thats not NFL caliber. But after watching the whole thing he had 31 out of 60 good accurate passes or good runs. Which still isn't NFL caliber (50% wont cut it). But i did see some great throws and creativeness. But i need to watch a couple of full games to see how accurate he is throughout, not just on tds. 1st pass..underthrown 2nd pass...good in stride 3rd pass...ugly underthrown and off the mark to a wide open deep receiver 4th pass... terrible punt lob pass underthrown, easy pick if dback turns around, receiver bails him out again. This is picked off all day long in the NFL. 5th pass....not terrible but a little behind. If he hits this guy in stride its a TD. 6th play....run for td. NFL defense are way faster and this would never happen. He looks tiny in college and probably cant take too many hits in the NFL. Better be an early slider. 7th play...tough throw on the run. Pretty good but underthrown. 8th...waaayyy underthrown shoulda been a td 9th...perfect throw in stride with d in his face. Nice 10th...again underthrown 11th...slightly underthrown probably a td if hit in stride 12th...unimpressive run. Again NFL speed this isnt so easy 13th...nice run escaping a colapsing pocket 14th...um what?! HE THROUGH THAT LEFT HANDED!!!! WITH A GUY HANGING ON HIM AND ANOTHER BEARING DOWN ON HIM!!! That was pretty bad ass. But in the NFL he doesn't get that pass off. 15th...good deep ball in stride 16th...qb sneek for td 17th...good timing throw in stride 18th...qb sneak. No big deal 19th..excellent fade to the end zone 20th...nice in stride deep ball 21st...ok lil shovel pass 22nd...nice in stride split defenders 23rd...nice in stride 24th...bad. behind. Shoulda been picked 25th... a little underthrown but tough throw with pressure on the run. Great play. 26th...good but a lil behind. All kinds of space in the middle to lead that receiver away from the defender 27th...slightly underthrown. Could have led the receiver a little more and taken the defender completely out of the play. 28th...nice in stride 29th...well done but easy pass to rb 30th..nice pass in stride where only his guy could reach it 31st... nice in stride 32nd...ok run 33rd... underthrown 34th...nice pass 35th... little behind 36th... nice deep in stride 37th... nice deep in stride 38th... pretty good run when things break down 39th... nice deep in stride 40th... a little behind 41st.. coulda led him to the outside 42nd... behind 43rd... okay pass to tight end 44th... underthrown 45th... way underthrown 46th... okay run 47th... way underthrown 48th...nice run 49th... decent pass 50th... okay run. Woulda got killed in NFL 51st... nice creative play 52nd... nice pass in stride 53rd... nice pass "right down the chimney" 54th... pretty good pressured throw 55th... nice run but dont do that in NFL 56th... okay run 57th... very nice throw 58th..run 59th... nice run 60th... decent

I like that he steps up in the pocket

I'm a pats fan and it's sounding like this kid is coming to NE and I'm lukewarm at best, his "highlights" are deep balls to WRs that beat coverage or under thrown balls none of these have been throws that wowed me. His WRs won't be that open in the NFL and an under thrown ball has a much higher chance to get picked in the NFL...I hope we don't take him.

The more I watch him the more I see why he's a Top 3 prospect. I wasn't sold at first but depending on what system he ends up in he can become top tier. If he slips out of the Top 3 I would want my Giants to trade up for him. Daboll would work wonders with him.

Pats need Maye, Walker, and Nesbit. What do you guys have for draft eligible tackles? Set up some sort of bulk price.

Drake Maye Future Viking

This is enjoyable. The lack of arm strength posts and the underthrow posts. I'm about 10 minutes in and I think I saw my second underthrow which appeared to be intentional due to the DB forcing Walker toward the sideline. Prior to this the only pass I would even call poor was the the middle of the field toss to Paysour which was behind him but if you genuinely believe all these throws to receivers being caught in stride are "underthrows" you should move onto another sport.

Welcome to NE Drake Earthquake Maye!

Best QB in the draft

Lots of good QBs.

Jordan Love

Drake Maye YOU are a Minnesota Viking

It amazes me how many people don’t know how to break down tape. Some of his issues are correctable. The biggest thing is understanding how quickly he processes, and at this level gets through 3 reads before checking down, something that we’ve seen starting nfl QBs fail at. Add to that, he has the athleticism to make something happen out of nothing. Provided he gets onto a team with good coaching he’s going to be a great NFL QB. For his sake I hope it’s not the Bears.

Its easy when the receiver is wide open. Can he throw it in a tight space or throw a guy open? He will be a good back up for sure. I like to see him in the UFL.

Bring your wide receiver with you to Massachusetts

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS🔵🔴⚪️🇺🇸

Scouts and GM’s have a tough one with him

The first step to the 2nd Patriots Dynasty!

I think this will be a top 20 qb of all time, and i don't think it'll be particularly close.

As a Tar-Heels fan I'll be excited to watch as Drake Maye plays into the NFL no matter how or where he gose into the 1st Round I hope he will do all that he can to win a Super Bowl Championship Ring soon very soon in his young career Go Get Em Maye Go Tar-Heels

We havex10 available in New England come on in Drake

I can see this at Gillette stadium in Massachusetts all May's welcome

No hes coming to Massachusetts Foxborough

Drake Maye is going to be the Vikings franchise quarterback.

I love Jayden daniels but man drake mayye is nice asf

Welcome to Minnesota in 1 month 💪🏼

I don't see it.

Every pass was underthrown.

Welcome to Foxborough Massachusetts

This dude didn't play anyone with a good/great defense so it's still Caleb by a mile.

A lot of his throws are under thrown

I see 3rd round talent

How about Mcarthy or Daniel’s for the Vikings

He might be a New York giants as of April 24

He definitely looks like an NFL QB.

For someone who’s said to have a cannon of an arm it seems like he under throws often. Seems like it’s mechanics though. I wouldn’t take a chance on him so high personally but I’m no gm

maye is a top 2 pick aint no fucking way he is going to the vikings.

as a pats fan i want someone like daniels who is mobile and fast

This kid being ranked over Bo Nix is insane 🤦‍♂️

Not trying to be a hater but ive watched 5 vids trying to see what the hype is about. Vikings i'm cool with daniels penix or JJ. In that order

Maye has potential and obviously very young in progression. However imo, Jayden, Caleb and Penix are demonstrably far better straight out the box.

He is coming to The Patriots

He should sit and learn behind a veteran QB for at least a year.

drake maye looks like drake parker lmao

How TH did folks think the patriots were going to pass on this guy 🤷🏽‍♂️

the main thing that worries me about him is his nonchalant lazy footwork especially on the dropback. it's like he's a statue back there with no hurry up. i know people often talk about the arm or the mental processing or whatever but the legwork is the most important thing and if you don't have that you're not going to be a starting caliber QB in the NFL.

First two tds shown would’ve been picked in the nfl. As a Vikings fan, please stay away from this guy. I saw a enough under-thrown balls for me to know this guy doesn’t have the “ *IT* factor”

Kind of reminds me of Justin Herbert. Strong arm, size, mobility. I think he would be a prefect fit on the Vikings.

The Vikings need to find a way to get Maye and not JJ McCarthy! We dont need another checkdown qb like Mccarthy, we need someone to make plays like Maye!

I think Fran Tarkington will let him wear #10

First minute in and he throws to guys wide open and throws a hope and prayer that is answered. I just don't see a top 3 guy and throw in the fact he lost 7 of his last 9 games in 2022 and 2023 playing in the ACC. He lost his last 3 games in 2022 and 4 of his last 6 games in 2023. Every time his season was on the line they lost. The only good game I've heard about him is the 2022 Holiday Bowl game. After he lost his last 3 games of the season. He played well against Oregon but Oregon won. But it's the Holiday Bowl. How much enthusiasm did Oregon have?

Dan Orlovsky is Smokin crack!!!

Drake Maye-Weclome to the Minnesota VIKINGS! You will be the first player i will buy a jersey. May is my birth Month. Gunna be great!

I like the cojones on the guy to tread the needle in tight spaces. Hopefully he can get away with it at the next level

wow! however, could have done without seeing all his QB sneaks into the endzone

Vikings replacing Kirk Cousins with Kirk Cousins lol I feel like they'll pick McCarthy though who I like personally better as a prospect but they are both very good

Viking

Gives me Jake Locker vibes. Too many throws that could’ve gotten serious YAC being 1st downs instead of touchdowns.

All vikings fans keep saying he coming to Minnesota i rather have JJ

New England Bound!!!

Unfortunately patriots are going to draft this guy

Drake has a flat ball, no arch on deeper throws. Vikes need to sit tight and let a QB fall to them.

Looks way more like Trubisly than Josh Allen

1st 5 minutes of tape he looks like nothing special. Next 5 he looks like a beast. End of tape throwing to wide open receivers but then a couple of impressive runs.

Wouldn’t have picked him with the last pick in the draft

Justin Herbert 2.0

Josh Allen played at Wyoming so that should say something. Don't believe the shit talk. Usually the top QBs from big college's flop. And my is very similar to Allen.

He needs to get stronger and be confident

Mitchell trubiski -1.5

Patriots taking Maye at 3 and then Tez Walker in the later rounds to complement him.

Too many people chattin on a highlight tape go watch some film. You wanna see Drake Mayes highs and lows in one session look up Drake Maye vs Clemson film.

Endless balls being underthrown here which concerns me at the next level but who am I? I do like this guy as a person from what I see and seems like he has probably just enough Talent physically so I wish him the best and hope we get another good quarterback in the league

We need this guy at QB asap

Nah I'm not sold. Thing I recognized he stare down receiver or try to run not good at extending plays and depend alot of his receivers. Just throwing the ball up

QB# 6, I don’t see what everyone does I guess.

I really hope The Bears pick this guy over Williams.

Who is he gonna throw 2?????

He’s got the arm talent, but if you notice, on NONE of passes is he going thru his 2nd or 3rd reads. He focuses on one player as soon as the ball is snapped. That is not gonna fly in the NFL, those corners/safeties are gona are gona hone in all day. Not saying he’s gona be a bust, but that would be something I would need to see how fast he processes his reads under pressure

I don't see any arm strength.

Damm I didn’t realize how much he underthrows the ball

IDK. I have a bad feeling he's going to be Daniel Jones 2.0. I hope I'm wrong.

Please Giants...

Dont see the hype.....hope my Commanders don't take him at #2. I like JD, Penix, McCarthy, Bo Nix, Ridder, and Pratt over this guy

Why would washington draft him they already have a spare qb from n carolina

NOT a Bear

Commanders or patriots.

Washington please don't draft Maye. Unc qbs have not worked out or lived up to the hype yet. Trubisky-bust and then Howell was a projected 1st round pick until he lost his top 2 wr's & rb's and the defense was terrible his last season & Howell got all the blame and fell to a 5th roud pick otherwise he would have been a 1st rd pick according to the "experts" (i gotta say i do like Howell, just not as a 1st round pick,dude gives everything he has) and now here is Maye a projected 1st round pick coming off a bad season from a team that had legit national title hopes at the start of last season. Maybe Maye will be the 1 but I'd rather not take that chance. Williams, Daniel's or even trade down and take Penix but please don't draft Maye

A lot of wide open receivers. Moves well behind the line though.

After seeing this I hope Pats trade down and take Penix, Nix or McCarthy instead.

Yeah I just don’t see it man. Give me JJ at 6, hopefully the giants don’t gotta move up and give assets away but if they must then fine. I hear Vikings love JJ so this should be interesting. Maye? Yeah no thanks
