Drake Maye is finally getting his shot.
After another lackluster offensive showing against the Miami Dolphins, the Patriots reportedly made a quarterback switch Tuesday and will give Maye his first career NFL start Sunday against the Houston Texans.
His girlfriend loved every minute of it.
Following the announcement of the quarterback switch by the team, his girlfriend, Ann Michael Hudson, took to her Instagram Stories to express her three-word reaction.
“YAY!!!!! So excited,” Hudson wrote, adding a smiling face emoji and a red heart emoji.
She has been with him from his high school playing days, when he was the starting quarterback for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, to his journey to the 2024 NFL draft, and now, as he gets set to make his first career start in the NFL.
Drake Maye Is The Future For The New England Patriots
The New England Patriots wanted to ride Jacoby Brissett until the wheels fell off, and that is exactly what happened when they made the move to start rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
The New England Patriots are ready for the future as Maye will assume starting quarterback duties this coming Sunday for the team’s Week 6 game against the Houston Texans.
Maye outperformed Brissett during the preseason, but the team elected to keep him on the bench to begin his career.
A big reason for that is New England’s offensive line being a disaster all season.
However, you can only keep a talent like Drake Maye down for so long, and it’s best to get his feet wet now.
