Drake Maye’s girlfriend reacts to Patriots’ quarterback switch

Drake Maye’s girlfriend, Ann Michael Hudson, is thrilled over the Patriots’ rookie quarterback being named the starter in New England.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Hudson reposted a snapshot of Maye after multiple reports indicated that he will replace Jacoby Brissett at quarterback — after a 1-4 start to the season — against the Texans on Sunday.

“YAY!!!!! So excited,” Hudson, 21 wrote, adding a smiling face emoji and a red heart emoji.

Maye and Hudson, who’s a senior year at UNC, where he played quarterback — have been dating since at least 2019.

She also attended the 2024 NFL Draft, which took place in Detroit from April 25-27, as well as a Patriots preseason game in August.

Patriots first-year head coach Jerod Mayo has yet to confirm the move.

The Patriots reportedly are turning to Maye, their No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, after Brissett failed to control the offense under new coordinator Alex Van Pelt.

In his lone appearance, Maye completed 4-of-8 passes for 22 yards and rushed two times for 12 yards in mop-up duty during a 24-3 loss to the Jets on Sept. 19.

Across five games, Brissett completed 58.5 percent of his passes for 696 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
