drake maye turns mvp chants towards patriots star rookie

Drake Maye is the odds-on favorite to be the league's MVP at this point in the season, but according to the New England Patriots quarterback, the three-syllable chants that filled Gillette Stadium before, during... He said postgame that they might have been for rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson, who scored three times en route to New England's eighth win in a row. "(The chants) may have been for TreVeyon tonight," Maye humbly said. "He scored three touchdowns." Henderson's meteoric rise over the last two weeks has been one that will eventually garner chants of his own some day. Though it may take a couple years to nail down what award the Ohio State rookie may win in the seasons to come, the last two games for Henderson have been a fantastic starting...

"It's a journey, the NFL comes with a lot of highs and lows," Henderson said. "I think the biggest thing is preparation going into the week and with the reps that we have, just trying my best to take advantage of them. Continuing to try and grow and get better as a player. My running backs coach does a good job of pushing us, Coach Vrabel does a good job of pushing everyone. I think preparation is key." With starting back Rhamondre Stevenson missing back-to-back games with a nagging toe injury, Henderson has stepped into the top spot smoothly.

His hard runs in the first half were complemented with his ability to add value in the passing game. He became just the fourth Patriot (and first since Rex Burkhead in 2020) to rush for a pair of touchdowns and catch a third. Send this article to your social connections.

What Drake Maye said of MVP chants following the Patriots’ win over the Jets: Many people inside Gillette Stadium seemed ready to award Drake Maye MVP following the Patriots’ 27-14 win over the Jets... However, the Patriots quarterback is remaining humble about the MVP talk.

When he was asked about the “MVP!” chants that rang throughout Gillette Stadium in the closing moments of Thursday’s win, Maye joked that he thought they were for a Patriots teammate. “Yeah, may have been for TreVeyon [Henderson] tonight,” Maye said. “He scored three touchdowns. You know you're having a good season when fans are chanting three letters: M-V-P. That's exactly what's been happening to New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. On Thursday, the Patriots hosted the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium, and Maye made sure to make an impact early, leading strong drives in the second quarter to set up back-to-back touchdowns for...

Brian Burns reveals the story behind his Spider-Man nickname In the world of the NFL, nicknames often carry stories that go beyond the field, and for New York... It was obvious, it would seem, to anyone on hand at Gillette Stadium on Sunday as the Patriots throttled the Browns, 32-13, that the home crowd thought highly of quarterback Drake Maye. Late in the third quarter, when Maye scrambled for a wide-open 28-yard run up the field, Patriots backers were raining down chants of “M-V-P!” in Maye’s direction. On the very next play, he dropped a perfect touchdown pass for 39 yards to Kayshon Boutte, and the chants grew louder.

Except to the one guy who was the subject of the chants, Maye himself. Asked about the decidedly biased crowd’s MVP designation, Maye claimed no knowledge. “No, I didn’t hear it. The guys were making fun of me about my slide back in the huddle on the long run, so I didn’t hear it,” Maye said. That sounds dubious, and Maye might well be sidestepping any linkage to the MVP conversation by claiming to have been drowned out. But it is worth mentioning that he did have a truly horrendous slide to close the 28-yard run, which ended more in a confused crumble-to-the-turf than in a slide.

Drake Maye heard more “MVP” chants from New England Patriots fans as he lead the team to an eighth consecutive win on Thursday night, and he had a great response to the praise. Maye finished 25/34 for 281 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ 27-14 Week 11 win over the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The second-year quarterback made several more eye-popping throws throughout the night and did not turn the ball over. Patriots fans chanted “MVP!” when Maye was introduced and then at various points during and after the game. When asked about the chants in his postgame press conference, Maye deflected the attention to TreVeyeon Henderson. Maye said the rookie running back was the MVP on Thursday night.

“I think it was a big time for him stepping up, and it’s been great for him to get all these reps, to keep getting these reps,” Maye said, via Michael David Smith of... “He wants to be great. He’s just showing up every day and asking questions. … I think just continuing for him to keep going the oncoming weeks and know that him and (Rhamondre Stevenson) and our backs, we can create a good one-two thing going. Looking forward to have (Stevenson) back, but TreVeyon stepped up huge.” Stevenson has been out with a toe injury, and Henderson has stepped up over the past two weeks.

The former Ohio State star exploded for two long touchdown runs in New England’s 28-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. He pulled a genius move on the second score. Drake Maye has been cooking in his second NFL season as his stellar play is a big reason why the Patriots are 6-2 on the season after beating the Browns on Sunday. The 23-year-old QB threw three more touchdown passes in the 32-13 win at home and he also rushed for 50 yards. The former UNC star, who the Patriots selected with the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, now has 15 touchdown passes through eight games and, more importantly, has thrown only three interceptions.

Maye has thrown for 2,026 yards, completed 75.2 percent of his passes and has a QB rating of 118.7. Maye has Patriots fans so fired up that they started yelling MVP chants at him after he ran for 28 yards on one play in the third quarter and then again after the next... Maye was asked after the game what he thought of those chants but said he didn't hear them because he was too busy getting roasted by his teammates for how he ended his long... "No I didn’t hear it," Maye said with a laugh. "The guys were making fun of me about my slide back in the huddle on the long run so I didn’t hear it. But the fans have been awesome all season.

Best fans in the league and they continue to show out every week." New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye heard that familiar chant rain down both during and after Sunday’s victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — even though the game was played at Raymond James Stadium. Maye, however, did his best to deflect attention during his postgame interview with CBS’ Tracy Wolfson. “They may be for (Baker Mayfield). Baker played his butt off. Big fan of Baker’s game, and they’re a good football team,” Maye told CBS’ Tracy Wolfson.

“We travel well. That’s the Patriots. That’s us, we’re going to travel every week.” Mayfield was tremendous, finishing with better numbers across the board. Maye was only one rough throw from matching those numbers, however. And as the old saying goes, to the victor go the spoils — which is something that has been reflected in betting lines.

Maye is the current favorite (+275) to be named NFL MVP at DraftKings Sportsbook. Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (+300), Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (+500) and Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (+650) are the three closest players behind — though we aren’t far away...
