New England Patriots Quarterback Drake Maye Ties the Knot and Gives Back to the Community
In an enchanting ceremony held last month, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye married his childhood sweetheart, Ann Michael Maye. As he embarks on his second year in the NFL, the couple is committed to making a positive impact in their community while starting their new life together.
A Heartfelt Gesture: Donating Wedding Gifts to Those in Need
During a recent segment on 98.5 The Sports Hub, former Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak shared a touching story about the Mayes’ generosity. He revealed that instead of keeping their wedding gifts, the couple chose to donate them to children’s and homeless shelters in their native North Carolina.
Zolak expressed admiration for their decision, noting, "They did a lot of donating with the local kids’ shelters and other organizations. Many children in their community lacked proper shoes and holiday gifts, and Drake and Ann made sure to help." The couple reportedly forwarded all their wedding presents, including money and household items, to support those in need.
A Love Story That Started in Their Teen Years
Drake and Ann have been together since their teenage years and both attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Patriots selected Maye as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he has quickly made a name for himself on the field. In his rookie season, he threw for 2,276 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions over 13 games, earning a well-deserved Pro Bowl selection.
Looking Ahead: Maye’s Future with the Patriots
As the 2025 season approaches, Maye is set to be the starting quarterback under the guidance of head coach Mike Vrabel. Fans are excited to see what the future holds for this promising athlete and his commitment to both football and philanthropy.
