He is an MVP candidate, perhaps even the front-runner, and the Patriots should feel comfortable with their standing at the most important position in sports. They also should feel pretty good about the man protecting him, rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still room for Campbell to improve, but he\u2019s largely held his own in his first season, and perhaps just as important, it\u2019s clear he has a bond with his quarterback. So it really shouldn\u2019t come as much surprise that Campbell believes Maye is already the best \u2026 in the entire league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s playing at an elite level right now,\u201d Campbell told reporters after the Patriots\u2019 Week 11 win on \u201cThursday Night Football\u201d at Gillette Stadium. \u201cI\u2019m biased, but I think he\u2019s the best player in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will Campbell Says Patriots QB Drake Maye Already NFL\u2019s Best<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s probably still a bit early to make such proclamations about Maye \u2014 or anyone on the Patriots, really \u2014 but he\u2019s certainly been a difference-maker. The Patriots have won eight games in a row, including a Thursday night laugher over the Jets, and the 23-year-old has a 119.1 passer rating over that two-month run.<\/p>\n<p>For Campbell, Maye\u2019s excellence isn\u2019t limited to what he can show in the box score, though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no game that we\u2019re out of when we have him,\u201d Campbell continued, per the Boston Herald\u2019s Doug Kyed. \u201cEven how good of a player he is, he\u2019s an even better person and an even better teammate. That just makes it that much cooler. To be able to share the huddle and in the locker room, and be friends with somebody like that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just look forward to the future, to continue to play with him and grow with him. As we all continue to grow in the office, he\u2019s got everything in front of him now. I\u2019m super excited to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Young Stars Make Patriots Future Look Bright<\/h2>\n<p>As the Patriots showed on \u201cThursday Night Football,\u201d it\u2019s not just Maye and Campbell providing hope for the future. TreVeyon Henderson has quite literally taken the ball and run with it, as the rookie running back is making the most of his opportunity in light of Rhamondre Stevenson\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson scored all three Patriots touchdowns against the Jets and looks like another staple of the New England offense for the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHenderson reached the end zone three times against New York on Thursday night, giving him five touchdowns in five days,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s Andy Behrens wrote. \u201cOver his last two games, he\u2019s delivered 243 scrimmage yards while playing 85.9% of the offensive snaps. Suddenly \u2014 and in defiance of everything \u2014 Henderson has seized control of New England\u2019s backfield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That trio, plus wideout Kayshon Boutte, is a tremendous foundation for an offense that should be a problem for NFL for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots rookie offensive lineman Will Campbell thinks quarterback Drake Maye is already among the NFL&#8217;s best players &#8212; and might be No. 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
