‘Growing up, Hawes saw a hard work ethic modeled by his parents. His dad is an orthopedic trauma surgeon. His mom, Lucy, has her law degree from University of Utah and practiced natural resource law before working in litigation.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who got to know Maye through their shared agency, has been impressed with the second-year quarterback. “He spins it as good as anyone in the league, his mechanics are really good, and to be that big and move the way he does, it’s impressive,” Allen said. Still, Maye is 23rd in completion percentage under pressure, at just 42%. The Bills’ defense currently leads the league with a 46% pressure rate.

The Bu alo Bills’ defense ranks 25th in third-down defense, though they are eighth in EPA per pass allowed.’
