Drake Maye’s girlfriend has two-word response to rookie QB’s stellar performance
Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye shined despite Thursday’s preseason loss to the Eagles, and his girlfriend, Ann Michael Hudson, was impressed.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Hudson posted a video of Maye’s first NFL career touchdown drive, when he took it to the house to give New England a 10-3 lead heading into the second half.
“LET’S GOOOOO!” she gushed.
It’s unclear if Hudson — who’s entering her senior year at UNC, where Maye played quarterback — was at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough for the Patriots’ 14-13 loss to the Eagles.
The couple has been dating since at least 2019, according to Maye’s Instagram.
Hudson, 21, is majoring in Business Administration.
Maye, the No. 3 overall pick by New England in April’s NFL draft, played in the second and third quarters — and led the Patriots on two of the team’s three scoring drives.
He finished 6 of 11 for 47 yards on top of his four-yard rushing score.
It came after he played in just one series in the Patriots’ preseason opener, a 17-3 win against the Panthers.
“Had some good things and had some bad plays. Definitely a lot of things to learn from,” Maye said after Thursday’s loss. “It was good to go out there and have some tape to learn from.”
Maye revitalized the offense when he replaced Jacoby Brissett, the Patriots’ projected Week 1 starter, who was intercepted by Philadelphia’s Avonte Maddox in his only quarter of action.
The Patriots face the Commanders in their final preseason game on Aug. 25 before their season opener against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sept. 8.
