Record-breaking: So far, Drake Maye’s NFL season has been one for the history books
With 11 games played in 2025, Patriots quarterback Maye boasts numbers that even the league’s greatest can’t match.
Right now, it’s a fact: the Patriots are legitimate contenders for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The road ahead is still long, but the outlook has changed dramatically. Mike Vrabel has unquestionably reshaped the landscape, yet it’s Drake Maye who’s stealing the spotlight - and deservedly so.
Fresh off his 23rd birthday, Maye plays with the poise of a seasoned veteran. The Patriots’ quarterback hasn’t just become the long-awaited face of the franchise after Tom Brady’s departure; he’s also revived that winning DNA that seemed lost in Foxborough over the past few seasons. His individual numbers put him in the MVP conversation week after week - and for good reason.
Maye’s momentous NFL numbers
According to OptaStats, the former North Carolina standout has posted figures through 11 games that even the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history never reached. Stats don’t guarantee championships - they simply record performance - but mentioning them is part of the game.
In 11 starts this season, Drake Maye has racked up:
- Over 2,500 passing yards
- More than 250 rushing yards
- 20+ touchdown passes
- A completion rate north of 70.0%
- A winning percentage above .800
No other quarterback in NFL history has hit those marks over an 11-game span in a single regular season, Opta says.

The hype surrounding this young star is more than justified. The Patriots are back in business on the gridiron after some dark chapters, and it looks like they’re doing it in style. Drake Maye is the real deal, and the message couldn’t be clearer: New England is ready to build a new dynasty.
