Drake Maye’s Second Comments About Mike Vrabel Come Under Massive Scrutiny
Drake Maye described Mike Vrabel as “a great human being” and said he does not believe Vrabel’s off-field issues will be a distraction for the defending AFC champions:
“No, I don’t,” Maye said. “I mean, he’s our head coach. I think he’s done a great job of talking to us and talking us through it. I’m just looking forward to getting back to work and getting ready.”
Maye spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday following the Truist Championship Pro-Am in Charlotte in which he was paired with PGA Tour pro Gary Woodland on the back nine at Quail Hollow.
Vrabel has been entangled in controversy since the New York Post published photos of him with longtime NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort. Vrabel said on April 24 that he was taking accountability for his actions without addressing specifics about the photos.
During his second season with the Patriots, Maye, the third pick in the 2024 NFL draft, led the team to the Super Bowl 60. In 2025, he was the runner-up for the AP NFL MVP award to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
These comments from him came under massive scrutiny from fans:
“great human beings” cheat on their wife with reporters for 6+ years and lie about it in front of the world👍

Is Maye banging some dude’s pregnant wife? Only way I can see him insistent on Vrabel’s “great human being” status.

If Drake Maye thinks that a man cheats on his wife, disrespects another man’s marriage, lies about it is a great man, then Drake Maye is not only stupid but a fake Christian
