Drake Maye and his wife, Ann Michael, carrying donation baskets during a Patriots Thanksgiving charity event
New England Patriots fans on Wednesday got yet another reason to be thankful for Drake Maye.
Maye and his wife, Ann Michael, participated in the Patriots’ annual “Thanksgiving-In-A-Basket” charity event held at Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries, a donation center in Boston, Mass. The Patriots donated 200 food baskets to Bostonian families in need to help them celebrate Thanksgiving.
Drake and Ann Michael assisted several families with their donated goods. While the Patriots could have easily paid someone to do the heavy lifting, the Maye couple’s show of solidarity with the local community was priceless for those at the event.

One Patriots fan even offered to block for Maye as a thank-you for his gesture for the community, which drew a huge smile from the second-year passer.

Maye is in the midst of a breakout sophomore campaign, throwing for 3,130 yards with 21 touchdowns and 6 interceptions across New England’s first 12 games. He leads the NFL in passing yards and completion rate (71.0%) entering Week 13, which is why Patriots fans have showered him with MVP chants throughout the season.
However, Maye might want to keep in touch with the fan who offered to block for him. The Patriots announced Wednesday that the team was placing star left tackle Will Campbell on injured reserve with a sprained MCL.
