Drake Maye Humbly Talks About Legend Tom Brady – And The “GOAT’s” Reaction Excites Patriots Fans
Foxborough, Massachusetts – November 2025
After the morning practice session at the New England Patriots' training facility, rookie Drake Maye became the center of attention when asked about “following in the footsteps” of legend Tom Brady – the man who brought six Super Bowl titles to the franchise. Maye’s smile flashed briefly, then he answered with a humility rarely seen in today’s football era.
“Goal in the Brady style? No… Tom has thrown thousands of those. I’ll never be as good as him,” Maye said. “Honestly, just being in the same locker room that Brady once walked through is already an honor. He’s the one who laid the foundation for this entire organization – and I’m just trying not to mess it up.” The remark made the entire press room burst into laughter, but it was also full of respect.
Many reporters noted this was one of Maye’s most “Patriots-like” answers since being drafted. No promises, no showboating – just respect for the predecessor and the humility of someone on a learning path. Fans on social media immediately shared the interview clip, calling him “Brady’s spiritual son.”
When asked about Tom Brady’s reaction, the No. 12 legend quickly commented on a podcast: “That kid has a New England heart. Never say you can’t do something. I’ve heard that thousands of times – and then it still happens. Just fight with everything you’ve got, the rest will come on its own.” The encouraging words sent Patriots fans into a frenzy.
The story between Brady and Maye is becoming a powerfully spreading topic in Foxborough. A legend has departed, but his legacy continues through the respect and ambition of the new generation. And when Drake Maye steps onto the field in a Patriots uniform, people don’t need him to “become Brady” – they just need him to dare to dream big like Brady once did.
