Maye is a versatile safety whose best fit is a complex defensive scheme that values interchangeable secondary pieces, particularly a single-high Cover-3 or quarters defense, allowing him to play effectively both deep and in the box.
Year 1 impact as a core special teamer and sub-package safety, with the ceiling to develop into a Pro Bowl caliber do-it-all safety.
A passive, bend-don't-break 2-man defense where his tackling prowess and blitzing ability would be underutilized due to a lack of opportunities closer to the line of scrimmage.
A multi-faceted safety with the instincts and athleticism to excel in a variety of roles within a sophisticated defensive system.
Selected #39 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Florida.
