\n Marcus Maye\u2019s turn came just a few minutes after Budda Baker began celebrating.<\/p>\n

That scene was the second night of the 2017 draft, when the Cardinals selected Baker (No. 36) three picks before the Jets added Maye (No. 39). The waiting time between the two safeties is going to be longer this time around, as Baker became the highest-paid safety in NFL history Tuesday, while Maye continued gearing up to play out the final year of his rookie contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig ups to Budda,\u201d Maye said. \u201cWe\u2019re all in different situations. I know my talent. The only thing I have to worry about is playing ball like I do, and I\u2019ll let the upstairs [front office] and my agent do the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker\u2019s four-year, $59 million extension set a new standard in annual salary ($14.75 million) and a benchmark for Jamal Adams to eclipse in his negotiations with the Seahawks. That\u2019s no longer the Jets\u2019 concern.<\/p>\n

If Maye ascends to the All-Pro level of Baker and Adams as he transitions from patrolling the deep part of the field to a box safety role \u2026 well, that\u2019s a problem the Jets would welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been a leader since I\u2019ve been here,\u201d Maye said. \u201cNow it\u2019s just at a different spot, but they are going to get the same hustle plays, same effort to the ball. I\u2019m not going to put anything bigger on it than what it is. Still the same old me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Marcus<\/img>

Maye, 26, is flying around in training camp, whether knowingly or subconsciously aware of how much responsibility landed on his shoulders after Adams was traded and linebacker C.J. Mosley opted out for COVID-19 health concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year Marcus continues to get better,\u201d quarterback Sam Darnold said. \u201cHe understands the game<\/a> more, he gets quicker. That all just kind of goes hand-in-hand. I feel like he\u2019s been rolling so far, and I know he\u2019s going to have a really good year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maye\u2019s showcase opportunity to blitz and shed blocks against rushing attacks comes at a high-leverage point in his career, as he is scheduled for a team-friendly $1.3 million bargain salary before reaching free agency.<\/p>\n

Consider it a karmic reward for unselfishly sacrificing statistics (four career interceptions, two forced fumbles) as the last line of defense in his first three seasons. He suddenly is making \u201ca ton of plays on the ball,\u201d as coach Adam Gase put it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can do a range of things, not just one good thing,\u201d Maye said. \u201cI feel like there are a lot of tools in the tool belt. Just the fact that I can show them all now is definitely exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maye\u2019s voice is a fixture in practices. Sometimes he is giving tips to teammates, including fellow Florida products Brian Poole and Quincy Wilson. Other times he is ragging on Gase.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just seen a growth more than a change in anything,\u201d Gase said. \u201cYou can see he\u2019s more and more comfortable every day: When he needs to speak up, he does. He\u2019s always one of those guys that talks to me a lot during practice, letting me know that we\u2019re not going to do anything on offense. So, I love the energy that he brings. I love the way that he\u2019s practicing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As much as coaches love big plays in practice, they equally love players who take their mistakes to heart. Maye screamed out frustration Tuesday after he let an interception go through his hands for a Jamison Crowder reception in 11-on-11s.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hate to give up any plays, so it\u2019s still poking at me,\u201d Maye said, one hour after the play ended. \u201cThat\u2019s the beauty of practice: You go out and try to be perfect.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
