“There was one in training camp where there was a broken play, and he scrambled to his right. He was literally almost out of bounds. He was a couple feet from the sideline,” McDaniels said . “He threw it, and it had to be like 60 yards,” “( Demario Douglas is) running down the sideline, and I’m like, ‘There’s no way he can get the ball to this guy, right?’
“Pop scores, and the place goes nuts,” he continued . “I kind of looked around like, ‘Did anybody else see that? That was nuts.’”
Maye is a big reason the Patriots are 11-2 with a chance to clinch the AFC East for the first time since 2019 on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills .
The 3,412 yards Maye has are second in the NFL, his 72.2 QBR is third and his 23 touchdowns are fourth.

“He’s been blessed with his physical ability and tools, but I don’t want that to take away from all the other things that he does to really put himself in position to be a really, really great player,” McDaniels said . “And he’s a special guy, and we’re lucky to have the opportunity to work with him.”
