Texans’ DeMeco Ryans Offers Assessment Of Patriots’ Drake Maye

Key Highlights

• “Very aggressive at trying to take their shots.
• High-powered offense.
• His ability to escape the pocket is what we have to be aware of this time around.”Maye isn’t just aggressive on shot plays, he’s extremely successful with them — finishing with a 52.1% completion rate (25-of-48) on passes of 20-plus air yards, including five touchdowns and zero interceptions in 2025.
• Maye also ranked fourth in rushing yards (450) among all quarterbacks — trailing only Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (579), Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (498) and New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (487). If you’re a fan of the home team, you’ll almost certainly be fearful of Houston’s insanely aggressive and impactful defense — which ranked first in total yards allowed (4,713) and EPA per play (-0.13) in 2025.
• If you’re a fan of the away team, you’ll be consumed by the idea of stopping one man and one man only — Drake Maye. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMore Patriots: Patriots Make Sweeping Practice Squad Changes Before Divisional Round.
