Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is apparently a big fan of New England’s young signal-caller, Drake Maye. This isn’t just a casual nod either; his own teammate, Dalton Kincaid, spilled the beans on just how much respect Allen has for the Patriots QB. When a guy of Allen’s caliber, a former MVP and arguably the best quarterback in the entire league, speaks highly of an opponent, everyone pays attention.
Maye’s Rising Stock Is Hard to Ignore
Maye recently landed at No. 11 in the top 100 NFL player rankings that dropped over the last month. That’s a massive honor for any young player, proving the buzz isn’t just coming from the talking heads. It tells you exactly what players across the league think of him. There’s a real reason why so many folks believe the Patriots could be a top team again this season, and Maye is clearly a massive part of that vision. He’s always said the right things, never made it seem like he’s disrespecting anyone on the field, plays hard, and gives credit where it’s due. All that adds up to a good guy, on and off the field, and it’s earning him some serious appreciation.
Even Rivals Can Respect Game
That appreciation extends all the way to Buffalo, of all places. Kincaid, Allen’s tight end, confirmed the high praise. “I heard it probably more from Josh, you know, with just the amount of respect he has for him,” Kincaid said, adding that when a guy like Allen, a former MVP, speaks, “I think you listen to what he has to say.” This isn’t some backhanded compliment. We’re talking about the quarterback of the Patriots’ top rival, the guy who’s usually all business when it comes to New England. It just goes to show that while it’s all business between the lines, a lot of these guys truly respect each other off the field. With that kind of recognition coming from a direct rival, Maye’s already setting a serious tone.
