Five times in the last seven seasons, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes was one of the Super Bowl's starting quarterbacks. To wrap up the 2025 season with Super Bowl LX, the football world gets a breath of fresh air with two first-time Super Bowl starters in Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks and Drake Maye of the New England Patriots.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has New England back in the Super Bowl. Here are facts to know about the young star.

Also holding it down on the sidelines will be his mother, Aimee Maye, who is guaranteed to be beaming with pride as her youngest son hunts for his first ring. A former athlete herself, Aimee - alongside her husband Mark Maye - has been the backbone of Drake's whirlwind rise to the top of the NFL at just 23-years old.

In New England’s Week 17 win against the New York Jets, Maye threw five touchdowns to five different receivers. He’s been without Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte throughout the year, and Rhamondre Stevenson’s fumbling woes to begin the year were tough to overlook.

Drake Maye, at 23, could become the youngest Super Bowl-winning quarterback against Sam Darnold’s Seattle Seahawks. Maye’s pairing with head coach and former New England Patriots player Mike Vrabel could be the first step toward Tom Brady and Bill Belichick’s undefeatable dynasty.

Drake Maye has the chance to match a landmark Tom Brady achievement at Super Bowl LX, and the comparisons between the two quarterbacks may help explain why Brady was initially slow to endorse the Patriots.
