"I think he's young, talented, willing to learn. I think there's a toughness to him. There's an amazing skillset in which to mold and to have him lead our football team and lead our offense," Vrabel said. Asked how he planned to help Maye reach his potential, Vrabel said the first thing would be to"put great people around him."
Maye, the No. 3 pick in the 2024 draft, started 12 games as a rookie and finished 225-of-338 for 2,276 yards, with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
