Stefon Diggs has played with some top quarterbacks, and he thinks Drake Maye compares favorably to one of them.
Diggs was interviewed by NBC’s Melissa Stark prior to the “Sunday Night Football” game between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, N.Y. The game marked the return of Diggs against his former team, the Bills.
During his pregame interview with Stark, Diggs was asked to compare Maye and Josh Allen. He talked about what makes them similar.
“The mindset, the energy, the want-to. You could see they always wanted to win. Drake has that approach each and every day,” Diggs said of his current quarterback.
That’s a nice comparison considering Allen is a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback and the reigning NFL MVP. If Diggs thinks Maye belongs in that category, that’s a great sign.
Maye went 22/30 for 273 yards and rushed for 12 yards in the 23-20 win over the Bills. This is Maye’s second NFL season, and he has passed for 1,261 yards, 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions this year. He has also rushed for two scores. The more important thing is that he has New England at 3-2, which marks a big improvement from last year’s 4-13 season.
