New England Patriots’ starting quarterback Drake Maye is in off-season mode and is still spending it out on the football field. On Wednesday, the NFL star dropped by his alma mater, Myers Park High School in Charlotte, to see some players from the football team.

The Myers Park’s football account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted about Maye stopping by along with other fellow professional football players in Sam Howell, Dyami Brown, T.J. Luther and Tez Walker.
