Drake Maye’s right shoulder is feeling just fine—and that’s great news for New England Patriots fans everywhere.
After a tough loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, the Patriots quarterback revealed he had received a painkilling injection in his throwing shoulder before the game. That revelation naturally raised some eyebrows, especially since the team had downplayed any injury concerns leading up to the big game.
But here’s the good news: Maye didn’t need surgery, and he’s been feeling great ever since. “Nothing, nothing, no problems at all,” Maye told the Associated Press this week, adding that he’s doing “great.”
That’s a huge relief for a quarterback coming off one of the best regular seasons in the league. Maye finished second in AP MVP voting after completing a league-leading 72 percent of his passes for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions. His 113.5 passer rating was the best in the NFL—a testament to his poise and precision under center.
In the postseason, Maye completed 58.3 percent of his throws for 828 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. While the Super Bowl didn’t end the way he wanted, his performance throughout the year cemented him as one of the league’s elite young talents.
Now, with a clean bill of health and no lingering shoulder issues, Maye is ready to build on that momentum. For Patriots fans—and anyone who loves watching a top-tier QB in action—that’s a win worth celebrating.
