His off-target throw percentage sits at 13.6%, 10th best in the league, which is an improvement from his rookie year, aided by an upgraded offensive line and coordinator Josh McDaniels&rsquo; scheme. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THIS ANGLE OF DRAKE MAYE'S THROW &#128525;<br><br>What a DIME to Diggs. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tuKXVIG0Jf\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/tuKXVIG0Jf<\/a><\/p>&mdash;
