Maye, who was an MVP candidate in 2025, remains a massive threat, and will present a much larger challenge as a quarterback than Cooper Rush was last week against the Steelers. Last season, Maye passed for 4,394 yards with 72% accuracy — partly a product of a short-game-oriented Josh McDaniels scheme, but the young quarterback also showed off one of the league's best deep balls and excelled despite not having a high-end supporting cast. Maye's mobility might be the aspect of his game not talked about enough — he managed 47 rushing yards Week 1 — with strong scrambling ability and plenty of highlight reel-worthy plays under pressure in 2025.

MVP-caliber QB with elite deep ball and underrated mobility faces Steelers in Week 2.

Maye was an MVP candidate in 2025, passing for 4,394 yards with 72% accuracy in a short-game-oriented Josh McDaniels scheme; he showed one of the league's best deep balls and excelled despite not having a high-end supporting cast. His mobility is underrated—he managed 47 rushing yards in Week 1 with strong scrambling ability and highlight-reel plays under pressure. Against Pittsburgh, he presents a much larger challenge than Cooper Rush did for the Steelers last week.
