Rookie quarterback Drake Maye turned 22 years old on Friday, and the New England Patriots celebrated his birthday by posting a video of his 2024 NFL draft call.
After being selected with the No. 3 overall pick, Maye spoke briefly with coach Jerod Mayo, lead personnel executive Eliot Wolf and owner Robert Kraft on the phone.
The excitement was clearly evident coming off one of the low points in the franchise's history. New England had just parted ways with legendary coach Bill Belichick after a 4-13 season. The decision to draft Maye represented a new era for the organization.
