Consensus
Some split

Drake Maye's 22.5% carry share from the previous season solidifies his status as a rare dual-threat quarterback entering Year 3, with an already proven elite ceiling and a decade-long runway for value appreciation.

Role & trajectory
Maye's role as a franchise QB is cemented by his 22.5% carry share from the previous season, indicating he remains a primary rushing threat alongside his passing duties.
Projected outlook
Entering Year 3 at age 23 with an MVP runner-up finish and Super Bowl appearance under his belt, Maye's projected outlook is for sustained elite production, bolstered by the addition of A.J. Brown as a top target.
Risk & schedule
While Maye's willingness to run keeps a modest injury risk due to recurring contact injuries over the past two offseasons, his full participation in the offseason program suggests he is healthy and ready for another strong season.
