Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who completed his second full season by passing for over 4,300 yards and 31 touchdowns, lists “Jesus” in his Instagram biography, along with an emoji of a cross.

At a press conference on Monday, Maye responded to a question asking him, “If you win the Super Bowl, what do you think the first thing you will do is after you win?” 

“I think just be thankful to the Good Lord,” the athlete replied. “That’s the first thing I should do. I hope to keep it the same on Sunday.”

Maye identified his Christian faith as his “purpose,” explaining to reporters that it is “bigger than football.” 

After the Patriots secured a spot in Super Bowl LX, Maye reacted to his team’s advancement by telling a reporter “I thank the Good Lord.” 

In a 2023 statement posted to X announcing his intention to participate in the NFL Draft, Maye thanked “the Good Lord for the ways in which he continues to bless my life.”
