"I don't think [Drake Maye] gets a single MVP vote this year." - @johnbreech 👀 https://t.co/PDTDM08gdj Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: John Breech projected Drake Maye will receive no MVP votes for the 2026 season. Maye enters the campaign after finishing second in the 2025 balloting.

Why it matters: The bar is unusually high after Maye collected 23 first-place votes and finished five points short last season. A vote-free finish would mark a sharp reversal in award support.

By the numbers: 2025 MVP voting: Maye finished second with 361 points and 23 first-place votes, five points behind the winner.

What to watch: Maye's early-season production will test Breech's preseason forecast.
