Maes delivered an impressive performance in a close Week 0 loss, showing the ability to contribute both as a runner and receiver. He rushed for 125 yards on 23 attempts and scored a touchdown while adding a receiving touchdown on a 6 yard reception. Maes consistently showed the ability to make the first defender miss and turn routine opportunities into chunk gains. His willingness to fight through contact helped him maintain production throughout the game, while his versatility gave the offense another way to create opportunities. Despite the result, Maes provided plenty of positives to build from. He will look to carry that momentum into the next matchup and create more explosive plays as he helps his team bounce back.
