The New England Patriots enter Week 15 of the 2025 NFL campaign with an 11-2 record, and much of that is due to the play of second-year quarterback Drake Maye. With Maye turning into a star in front of our eyes, he’s quickly become one of the most popular players in the league.
On the field, it’s not hard to see what the allure is with Maye. In 13 games, he’s thrown for 3,412 yards and 23 touchdowns, while also rushing for 319 yards and another pair of scores. Off the field, though, Maye’s humble demeanor and laid-back personality have helped his popularity soar through the roof.
That has extended to Maye’s wife, Ann Michael, who has quickly become a social media star. Drake has gotten a front row seat to watching his wife blow up on social media, and he’s glad to get an opportunity to support her with her latest endeavor.
“It’s been awesome,” Maye said on “WEEI Afternoons. “(She’s) in her little journey doing ‘Bakemas’ right now. I get to do the good part of trying all her stuff she bakes. I try to bring some leftovers into the building.
I think people up north kinda struggle with the double name. Her name’s a double name, Ann Michael, so hopefully people figure that out. But she’s a superstar. She’s been a big addition for me being up here and living with me.”

Unsurprisingly, Drake has played a helping hand in Ann Michael’s success, just as she’s helped him excel on the football field. If you take a quick look at the comment sections on any of her videos, you’ll see they are filled with fans praising her and Drake in rather hilarious fashion.
If you play good football for the Pats, it’s a pretty easy way to become a cult hero in the New England region. Drake and Ann Michael have found that out firsthand, and things could reach a new level if the Patriots can take down the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon in a big divisional matchup.
