The atmosphere at Gillette Stadium after the 27-14 victory over the New York Jets was still sizzling when a familiar face of the Patriots appeared on television.

His analysis was immediately shared widely across social media platforms.

According to Edelman, the most striking similarity lies in Maye's ice-cold demeanor under pressure. He observed an astonishing calmness in how Maye operates in the pocket, creating a feeling like watching familiar footage of Brady. Additionally, the release rhythm, route calculation, and game control of Maye evoke memories of the disciplined football that the Patriots dominated for nearly two decades.

Edelman also particularly emphasized Maye's sideline throwing ability. Fans have circulated comparison videos showing that Maye's body posture, release angle, and ball trajectory nearly match Brady's from the 2016 era. It's not just technical similarity but also a sign of a QB maturing remarkably in head coach Mike Vrabel's offensive system. Patriots fans describe seeing “Brady's soul” in every one of Maye's plays.

The Patriots are currently soaring with a 9-2 record and back in the AFC race in a way no one expected two years ago. Maye's rise has completely changed the franchise's landscape. Edelman couldn't hide his pride witnessing a new generation gradually continuing Brady's legacy. During the analysis, he took time to praise Maye's talent and leadership qualities with a quote that made the entire studio nod in agreement.

“The kid has something not everyone has. He owns the tempo, owns the locker room, and owns the entire game's atmosphere. No need to compare to anyone, just look at how he believes in himself and makes everyone believe along. The Patriots have a real leader.”

Those words from a legend like Edelman are a strong confirmation that Drake Maye is not just being compared to Tom Brady. He is starting to create his own chapter in Foxborough.
