Drake Maye is going to the Super Bowl.
And yeah, New England Patriots legend Tom Brady did that a few times.
But there's one thing that the second-year QB Maye has already passed Brady on one NFL list -- and that's in addition to winning a playoff game in Denver, which Brady never did.
This is about rushing yards:
- Brady had 133 rushing yards in his playoff career.
- Maye is already up to 141 career postseason rush yards.

On Sunday in Denver in the AFC Championship Game, Maye ran the ball 10 times for 65 yards and a touchdown.
His QB draw TD was the only time the Pats found the end zone on a snowy day.
Add to that a field goal by Andy Borregales, and that was enough for a 10-7 win and an advancement to the final day of the NFL season.
Brady, of course, wasn't a runner. It's not shocking that Maye has passed them on this list.
But it is a cool reminder that Maye, while trying to add to a Patriots legacy built by Brady, is also doing it his way.

There's a lot of Josh Allen to Maye, except Maye is now going to a Super Bowl before the Bills superstar ever has.
Maye is one win away from a ring. Brady knows a thing or two about that, certainly more than he does about being a running QB.
