00:00Efficient, a couple touchdowns through the air, touchdown on the ground.

00:03He was rolling out, you know, that touch play.

00:05We were talking about it earlier, that little touch play rolling left

00:08where he hit Hunter Henry.

00:09If that play was made by Patrick Mahomes, it would be all over every TV network.

00:14And now we got one of those guys that makes that play.

00:17What did you think of Drake May?

00:19And is this just sort of a natural evolution of where his game is going?

00:23Yeah, there's no doubt about that.

00:25I mean, that play, the vision to have that play, to be sprinting full out,

00:30you know, sprint to your left and zip it through that window.

00:33That's Mahomes, that's Josh Allen-esque.

00:35And so that's what we all thought, you know, he would get to.

00:38I think the one thing you're seeing is just a comfortability level that is getting him.

00:43I mean, you talk about, what is his first and completion percentage?

00:46A lot of that has to do with knowing the intent of the play

00:48and getting to the right reads as quickly as you can.

00:51And I see that from him, especially this past week.

00:53I think a lot was made of his connections with Diggs.

00:56And you see Diggs being moved around all over the field.

00:58And one of the most impressive throws to me was the fourth down,

01:02back shoulder to Diggs to the field.

01:04I mean, you talk about trust in a guy, confidence with the rhythm that Drake

01:09took the drop and let it rip.

01:11You know, it's clear as day that you're seeing this guy is very confident

01:15with where he's at, with where his understanding of the offense is right now.

01:19And it's showing out on game days.

01:21And it's just a little bit more.

01:22I think it's a little bit more.

01:27I think it's a little bit more.

01:28I think it's a little bit more.

01:29I think it's a little bit more.

01:30I think it's a little bit more.

01:31I think it's a little bit more.
