Josh Allen Issues Surprising Revelation On Drake Maye Relationship

The New England Patriots did not get off to the start they were hoping to in the 2025 campaign, as they suffered a 20-13 loss at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1. In the first game of his sophomore season, quarterback Drake Maye turned in an uneven performance that featured some highs and lows.

Maye completed 30 of his 46 pass attempts for 287 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 11 yards on four carries. He did throw a costly interception in the third quarter that turned the tide of the game, and he fumbled the ball too, although it ended up being recovered by rookie left tackle Will Campbell.

Considering how impressive he was during his time on the field as a rookie, the Pats and their fans were likely hoping for more from Maye against a weak Raiders defense. It is only Week 1, and growing pains should be expected for New England’s offense.

One guy who knows that quite well is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. While he’s the reigning NFL MVP, it took Allen a while to find his footing in the NFL. With that in mind, he’d be the perfect mentor for Maye, and according to the Bills’ superstar, it sounds like that’s a role he took on over the offseason.

“I’ve formed a good relationship with Drake Maye,” Allen said on the “Like a Farmer Podcast.” “Got to spend some time with him this offseason. He’s an unbelievable guy. He’s still in the kid tier for me, he’s younger than I am … He’s a bright kid. He can spin the heck out of the ball. He moves well.”

“The only thing that I ever tell anybody when they ask me, ‘What’s your number one?’ It’s just be yourself, right? Be authentic, know who you are, don’t try to be somebody that you’re not. He seems like a kid that is only him, which is cool.”

Maye has a similar playstyle to Allen, as he has a cannon for an arm, while also having the ability to take off on the ground if nothing opens up downfield. Both of those traits have helped turn Allen into one of the most lethal players at his position in the league.

It’s going to take time for Maye to potentially reach the same heights as Allen. If Buffalo’s star passer keeps on working with Maye, though, that could only end up helping him in his quest to take his game to another level in 2025.
