Tom Brady may have retired from the NFL after a long stint as the legendary New England Patriots QB but the love for football still lingers. After all, the NFL GOAT’s job is more than just triumphing on the field. Before his kickoff at his new role as an NFL analyst, he has gathered some of the top NFL rookies entering the pro league to give invaluable advice. 

Amidst other NFL rookies like Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy, Tom Brady seems to be particularly interested in one of the attendees at the event – Drake Maye. And why wouldn’t he? After all, he’s about to lift the stats and status and become the new face of his former team after being picked as the third overall by the Patriots in the 2024 NFL Draft. At least that’s what everyone is expecting of Maye and the picture he posted only triggered the expectation and even drew in some comparisons from fans. 

Tom Brady shares a shot with Drake Maye!

In one of his IG stories, Tom Brady posted a picture of himself with the Patriots’ new QB Drake Maye, who is expected to be a game-changer for the Patriots, a team that has suffered consistently since Brady’s departure after 20 seasons. The pair looked fresh and happy in their light sweaters and dark pants. The 7X SB champion captioned the story, “Just two guys having brunch.. Calm down everyone.” But fans think otherwise as one posted, “Gotta love b-ball! Tom Brady meets Patriots rookie, Drake Maye, and shares advice with him and other members of the 2024 class: The torch has officially been passed.”

As uploaded by Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, Tom Brady, and rapper Jay-Z hosted a luxurious breakfast on Sunday morning in Los Angeles. It witnessed the presence of several NFL rookies as the NFL GOAT discussed life and football with the young stars. Rubin wrote on his IG, “This was such an incredible opportunity for these rooks before they take their first snap… Can’t wait to watch you all crush it on and off the field!” However, it is that one photo of Tom Brady with Drake Maye that stole the attention of X users. 

Fans marvel at seeing Tom Brady and Drake Maye together

When fans saw Tom Brady and Drake Maye together, one couldn’t help but point out the similarity in their looks, stating, “They look alike.” 

Another fan joined in the entertainment commenting, “F**k why does Drake Maye look like Tom Brady with the face of a 15-year-old.” 

A Spanish fan wrote, “Pasado y presents de los New England Patriots. Tom Brady and Drake Maye.” This translates in English to “Past and present of the New England Patriots. Tom Brady and Drake Maye.” Another fan was quick to join in on the same emotion, writing, “The future of Patriots with the legends of the team.”

Another fan posted, “Find someone that looks at you the way Tom Brady looks at Drake Maye.” Perhaps, as Tom Brady looks at Maye with joy and pride, the rookie reminded him of his youth when he was getting ready for the NFL. Brady won six Super Bowls for the Patriots which is a tough record to beat. But hopefully, Maye will walk in the success path of the NFL GOAT.
