Quarterback · New England Patriots

Drake Maye

No. 10 · 3rd season

Drake Maye walked onstage in Boston and the crowd had no idea it was coming

Nobody bought a ticket expecting the Patriots quarterback to show up. That's the thing about a surprise.

Maye is the quarterback New England handed its future to — a young player in a city that takes its football seriously, still in the early chapters of proving he belongs. The pressure that comes with that job doesn't really clock out.

So when he turned up unannounced at a Noah Kahan concert during the tour's Boston stop, it was a reminder that there's a person inside the jersey. Just a guy at a show, in his city, letting a Tuesday or a Thursday night be exactly that.

For a fanbase that is still getting to know him, moments like this matter in a quiet way. The stat line tells you what he did on Sunday. This tells you a little about who he is the rest of the week.

Boston already claimed Noah Kahan. Now it has a little more reason to claim Drake Maye too.
