Drake Maye’s wife, Ann Michael Maye, took to her Instagram to celebrate one year since the New England Patriots quarterback asked her to marry him. On her Instagram story, she posted a picture of their engagement, as Maye kneeled to pop the question.
A fun fact about the picture: the 6’4″ Maye was almost at eye level with the 5’4″ Ann Michael while down on his knee.
“1 year ago, today ❤️. I love you! @drake.maye,” wrote Ann Michael Maye.
Ann Michael and Drake Maye are high school sweethearts, having met in middle school in North Carolina when they were 12. They stayed together through high school, even as Drake transferred from William Amos Hough High School to Myers Park High School.
In college, they reunited when both attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They got engaged last January and got married in June.
Drake Maye Is On The Lookout For The Houston Texans’ Linebacker Corps
Speaking this Thursday with reporters about the upcoming Divisional round game against the Houston Texans, Drake Maye admitted that their linebackers are one of their biggest weapons. He said that he knows they will put enormous pressure on him and the offense as a whole, and he respects the threat they represent.
“Those guys, especially at the linebacker level, they try to take your head off. And I respect them for it. They tackle the ball carrier hard, and they’ll punish them, and they’ll make you pay for it,” Maye told reporters.
The quarterback and the New England Patriots come from a 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend. They are set to play the Texans at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Sunday, January 18, at 3:00 pm ET. They come in as three-point favorites, with the ESPN game predictor giving them a 51.7% chance of advancing to the AFC championship game.
These games are important to Maye, not only for a chance to win a Super Bowl just in his sophomore season in the league, but because he’s a frontrunner in the NFL MVP award race. According to the Action Network, he has odds of +160 to win the individual accolade, which is the second-best set of odds, behind Rams’ Matthew Stafford’s -195 odds.
