Drake Maye Video Goes Viral for Wholesome Moment with AFC Championship Trophy After Patriots Win

The New England Patriots aren't strangers to hoisting trophies, but quarterback Drake Maye is.

After he led the Patriots to an AFC championship game victory on Sunday, the second-year player didn't know if he was allowed to take the Lamar Hunt Trophy off the stage with him.

Maye will probably start getting used to trophy ceremonies soon, as the young quarterback has already proved capable of leading the Patriots to a new era of their dynasty.

The former No. 3 overall pick took New England from going 4-13 in 2024 to 14-3 this year. Maye threw for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions with an outstanding 72 percent pass completion percentage.

He was far from the best version of himself against a tough Broncos defense on Sunday as he threw for just 86 yards, but it was enough to advance to the Super Bowl.
