Yahoo Sports NFL on Drake Maye
From the article
His sky-high regular-season efficiency (highlighted by a 72% completion rate and league-leading 8.26 adjusted net yards per passing attempt) cratered in the playoffs, where he completed just 58.3% of his throws and registered a 4.5 ANY/A.
STACKED’s take
Maye's elite regular-season efficiency (8.26 ANY/A) collapsed in playoffs (4.5 ANY/A); must avoid forcing plays.
Maye's regular-season efficiency was elite (72% completion rate, league-leading 8.26 adjusted net yards per passing attempt), but his playoff performance cratered significantly: 58.3% completion rate and 4.5 ANY/A. He also took a record 21 sacks in the postseason. The source warns that the temptation to sling his way back to his sophomore-season highs could be strong, especially with offensive line investments potentially affording better protection, but defenses are now denying him the opportunity to throw over the top with ease. Operating with reduced risk tolerance—at least to start—will be vital as he navigates the absence of A.J. Brown.
