Patriots QB Drake Maye Emerges as MVP Contender for 2026-27 Season

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who narrowly missed the 2025-26 MVP award, is already positioned as a strong contender for the 2026-27 NFL MVP. Oddsmakers have set his opening odds at +850, placing him third behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Maye's emergence as a "legitimate superstar" in the previous season has solidified his status as a top candidate for the league's most prestigious individual honor.
