His playing style and physical attributes draw comparisons to Justin Herbert, indicating significant upside with proper development. Despite fluctuations in performance, Maye possesses a powerful arm and high-level escapability in the pocket, drawing comparisons to Ben Roethlisberger. If he reaches his ceiling, he could become the top QB in this draft class.
