Drake Maye's Mobility an X-Factor vs. Texans; Named Most-Improved Player

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye, recognized as one of the league's most-improved players in 2025, is poised to use his speed and mobility as an X-factor against the aggressive Texans defense. His ability to escape the pocket has been clutch, with his 37-yard run setting up a field goal and mobility aiding a touchdown pass against the Chargers. Maye is aware of the Texans' violent defense and the need to protect himself, having faced them previously in his first pro start.
