00:00is a legitimate MVP candidate.

00:02I don't know if he'll win it.

00:03Long season to play.

00:05We'll see where it goes.

00:06But he is playing the quarterback position

00:07as well as anyone in the sport of football right now.

00:11As Jason McCourty said on the broadcast,

00:13he's never seen anyone as efficient on the deep balls

00:17as Drake May right now.

00:19And I said to you, Fitzy, last night

00:21on the Six Rings post-game show,

00:23it's almost like we're getting punked.

00:24It's almost laughable at this point where you're like,

00:27is this staged?

00:28Is this rigged?

00:29Is The Matrix or one of those movies,

00:31is this all a big scam and a setup?

00:34And it isn't.

00:35Drake May is just on a heater of epic proportions right now.

00:39And you notice there was a commercial at one point,

00:42a national ad.

00:43He's becoming a superstar before our eyes.

00:46Superstar in the making, Drake May.

00:48Yeah, straight up.

00:49Everybody knows his name at this point.

00:51It's not just about Pat's fan love.

00:53It's not about local Boston or New England media love.

00:56This is straight up a household.

00:59He's a household name.

01:01He is legitimately a name that everybody knows.

01:03Since football is king and it's the most dominant form of entertainment

01:06in the United States,

01:08if you watch football,

01:09if you know ball,

01:11you know Drake May.

01:12And you know that this guy is on an absolute rip right now.

01:16And here's the crazy thing.

01:17I don't even think we've seen the best of him yet.

01:19I don't even think we've seen the best of him

01:21or the best of this offense by any stretch.

01:23Well, you may have seen some of the best statistically

01:26because he did break a record for best completion percentage

01:29in a single game held by Tom Brady like five times.

01:32All the ones right before Drake May in the record book say,

01:34Tom Brady, Tom Brady, Tom Brady, Tom Brady, different games.

01:37But you're right.

01:38He is only, what, now three games into his second season

01:42as a starting quarterback

01:43and getting better by leaps and bounds.

01:46I thought yesterday, aside from the head,

01:49and we'll get into that a little bit later,

01:50we'll get into that with him.

01:52He ran the ball as effectively as you'll ever see.

01:54It was like, oh, the pocket's breaking down.

01:56I'll just run up the middle

01:57and then slide for 10 yards in a first down.

01:59I think he had nine for 60 something.

02:01It was as efficient a day

02:03as you can probably have at the quarterback position.

02:06It really was.
