Patriots’ Drake Maye Overcomes Shoulder Issue, Ready for Super Bowl LX
Drake Maye, the New England Patriots’ quarterback, is poised to make history in Super Bowl LX. At just 23 years and 162 days old, he is set to become the second-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. Only Hall of Famer Dan Marino, who started at 23 years and 113 days, is younger.
If Maye leads his team to victory, he will become the youngest quarterback ever to win the Lombardi Trophy. The current record is held by Ben Roethlisberger, who was 23 years and 340 days old when he won Super Bowl XL.
Coach’s Confidence in Maye
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel expressed confidence in Maye’s readiness. He remarked on the quarterback’s performance during practice, stating, “We had a good third-down day. I thought the ball came out good. It was a crisp practice for Drake and for everybody else.”
Shoulder Concerns Addressed
As Super Bowl LX approaches, questions about Maye’s shoulder injury have been raised. However, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels downplayed any concerns regarding limitations. “Nope,” he stated when asked if he anticipated any issues. His confidence suggests that both the team and Maye are fully prepared for the big game.
