- Why ex-Patriots captain doesn’t want Drake Maye to win MVP
Drake Maye has put himself in the MVP conversation this season. But his former Patriots teammate doesn’t want to see him win the annual award.
“Is he the MVP? Yes. Do I want him to win it? No,” Andrews said on the “Patriots Daily Podcast.” "I’ve been a part of one MVP season. It was the one season we didn’t win a Super Bowl (against the Eagles). It’s like Patrick Mahomes , when he did it in ’22, it was the first time in like 20 years."

The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime of the AFC Championship Game. The Thursday before the Super Bowl, and days after Kansas City was eliminated, Mahomes was named the 2022 NFL MVP.
Andrews played out a hypothetical situation that the Patriots go to the Super Bowl — a feat he doesn’t believe is out of reach — and Maye learns he’s not the MVP days before the biggest game of his career.
“They wake up, having breakfast that morning. Can you imagine if this kid doesn’t win the MVP?,” Andrews said . “I don’t know if it’s going to be brought up, but I think they’re going to be pissed off, and I like them pissed off.”
The Patriots still have a long journey if they want to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 2018. They can take the first step on Sunday against the Bills. A win against Buffalo clinches the AFC East for New England .
