Patriots rookie Drake Maye, 22, announces engagement to girlfriend of 9 years

Drake Maye, the young quarterback for the New England Patriots, is wrapping up his rookie season with some exciting news – he’s engaged! The 22-year-old athlete took to Instagram to share the announcement of his engagement to his girlfriend, Ann Hudson, with a sweet caption expressing his love for her.

The couple celebrated their engagement on a beautiful beach, surrounded by an umbrella, roses, and a cozy blanket. Maye and Hudson both attended the University of North Carolina and recently celebrated their nine-year dating anniversary in October.

Maye’s rookie season with the Patriots started off a bit rocky as he served as the backup to Jacoby Brissett. However, he quickly proved himself on the field and became the starting quarterback in Week 6. Throughout the season, Maye showcased his skills with 2,276 passing yards, a 66.6 completion percentage, and 15 touchdowns. He also added 421 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to his impressive stats.

In addition to Maye’s exciting news, another AFC East quarterback, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, recently got engaged to musician Hailie Steinfeld. The engagements of these two young quarterbacks bring some positivity to the football world amidst the recent drama in the Patriots organization.

Following their season finale, the Patriots made the controversial decision to fire first-year head coach Jerod Mayo. However, they quickly rebounded by hiring Mike Vrabel, a move that has been met with approval from many fans and analysts.

As Maye looks ahead to his future with both his fiancée and the Patriots, fans are hopeful that Vrabel’s leadership will help guide the team to success, potentially leading to a Super Bowl ring for Maye in the near future. The young quarterback has already proven himself as a rising star in the NFL, and with the support of his fiancée and his team, the sky’s the limit for his future in football.

Stay tuned for more updates on Drake Maye’s journey both on and off the field as he continues to make his mark in the NFL.
