Drake Maye's Courtside Football Show

0:00On March 27, Drake May, the New England Patriots' second-year quarterback, is building a big fan base across the league after a strong start to his career. Drafted third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, the 22-year-old has shown MVP-level play early on. A true North Carolina native, May grew up in Huntersville and starred in football and basketball at Myers Park High School in Charlotte. He stayed close to home by playing college ball at the University of North Carolina, even after early interest from Alabama. This week, he returned to Charlotte for the Hornets game against the New York Knicks, which the home team won 114 to 100. Three, sitting court side with his wife, whom he met in high school, may turn heads with a fun surprise. The Hornets staff handed him footballs, and his wife snapped them to him like a center. He fired off four perfect spirals deep into the stands, delighting fans who jumped up to snag them. That light-hearted moment captured May's easy charm, and the video quickly racked up half a million views online, reminding everyone why this young.
