"Starting center Garrett Bradbury even mentioned that Maye gets really into ping-pong, which the most knowledgeable Patriots fan will remember was also true of Brady during his days in New England. "His competitiveness comes out every day. Whether we're playing Ping-Pong, cards, it does not matter. Any sort of game, any sort of activity you can compete in, he's going to sign up for it.""
"Some of that has already been a problem for the Patriots with Drake Maye, who has been labeled the next Tom Brady by some, and while that would certainly be incredible, it's far too early in his career to make such a suggestion. On the other hand, it's not to say he has some traits that the greatest of all time became known for throughout his career."
Fans and analysts often prematurely label promising players as the next all-time great, creating pressure to sustain elite performance. Drake Maye has drawn comparisons to Tom Brady, but such labels are premature early in his career. Teammates report that Maye's competitiveness surfaces in casual games and activities, demonstrating a pervasive dislike of losing. Garrett Bradbury noted Maye's intensity in ping-pong and other competitions, echoing Brady-era anecdotes. That relentless competitive drive can enhance preparation, focus, and development, potentially increasing Maye's prospects and raising the Patriots' expectations for future success.
