Drake Maye’s film highlights his arm strength, athleticism, and creative instincts

Drake Maye’s film showcases why his skill set stands out among young quarterbacks. His arm strength, athleticism, and ability to create off-schedule plays make him dangerous in a variety of situations.

 

On tape, Maye demonstrates the ability to drive throws to every area of the field, whether it is launching deep shots with velocity or delivering precision passes on the move.

 

Beyond his arm, Maye’s movement skills allow him to extend plays, navigate pressure, and find open receivers after the play breaks down. His athleticism shows up in how easily he resets his platform and keeps his eyes downfield.

 

While there are opportunities for more consistency in his lower body mechanics and stability, Maye’s combination of natural ability and competitive confidence give him a strong foundation to build from.

Key Takeaways:

Explosive arm strength: Maye drives the ball to every level of the field with velocity and confidence

Creative playmaker: He extends plays under pressure and delivers accurate throws while moving

Athletic movement: Maye’s quickness and body control help him reset and make off-platform throws
