Before being drafted by the New England Patriots, Drake Maye spent his entire life in North Carolina. However, the quarterback is quickly adapting to the Boston sports culture.
On Tuesday, Maye attended the Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 between the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
The rookie was courtside, sporting a Jayson Tatum jersey, and even made an appearance on the big screen, proudly displaying his No. 0 jersey.
During the game, Maye celebrated a crucial late-game three-pointer by the Celtics, and a viral photo captured him in the background flashing the three-point sign, with Jaylen Brown in the foreground.
Boston fans are sure to embrace Maye if he contributes to the Patriots’ success. His enthusiastic support for local teams before his first NFL season is a smart way to win over the fanbase.
Maye also witnessed an exciting game; the Celtics triumphed over the Pacers 133-128 in overtime after an exhilarating end to regulation.
