Drake Maye is looking to join Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to ever lead the New England Patriots to a Super Bowl victory.
As Maye prepares to do that, some of the guidance the legendary quarterback has given him over his career has been rattling around in his brain.
Maye was asked at Super Bowl opening night about the best advice he had received from Brady.
“I’ve met Tom a few times, and one of the best things he said is there’s no shortcuts to it,” Maye told reporters. “There’s no shortcuts to putting in the work. The proof’s in the pudding.”
“Knowing that the shortcuts that people can try to take – it’s not worth it,” he added. “Get the most out of what you put into it. He’s been great at that and he obviously showed that throughout his career.”
“There’s no shortcuts to putting in the work.”
Valuable advice from Tom Brady to Drake Maye 🙌
