Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

To the question of like, what is this going to mean for the Patriots, I think this is not just a big deal.

I think it's absolutely huge because you know what is buried in conversation.

It's buried under two layers is how good Drake May was last year.

And the two layers that it's buried under are rough Super Bowl, okay?

We all watched it, fine.

And then it's buried under romantic resorts in Sedona.

All of that Red Rock is just buried on top of how good Drake May was last year.

Drake May led the entire NFL in that pure passer rating, significantly a notch higher than the ABP Matthew Stafford, in another orbit in the draft class partner, Caleb Williams.

And that's while being sacked 47 times with some of the most of the NFL.

I just think we've talked so much about the Patriots about all

kinds of stuff and all kinds of crap that we have forgotten the prime rib of how good their

quarterback was last year. So here's what I would say to you. He's going to get A.J. Brown in the

next 24 hours. Who knows? Maybe the next few hours we don't know. If you had announced that news,

not now after we buried them under 50 layers of crap,

if you had gone back to last December, when Drake May just threw five touchdowns against the Jets to

complete an 8-0 road record for the Patriots, to join Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe was the only Patriots

quarterbacks to ever throw for 4,000 yards, and Drake may appearing like he's about to be the face of the league.

If you had said then, oh, guess what? Next year, he's going to have AJ Brown. You're like,

what? Are they going to go 17 and 0? This is crazy because Drake May is amazing and you're going to give him Drake.
