Jaylen Brown Urges Drake Maye to Turn Super Bowl Pain Into Fuel
The Celtics star drew on his Finals loss experience to praise the 23-year-old’s MVP-worthy turnaround season for New England.
Overview
- Brown addressed Maye on a Twitch stream after Super Bowl LX, telling him to use the disappointment as motivation and to “level up.”
- He said Maye’s season “could have been an MVP year,” emphasizing confidence in the quarterback despite the loss.
- The Patriots lost 29-13 to the Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium and did not score until the fourth quarter under heavy defensive pressure.
- Maye, 23, finished 27-of-43 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, was sacked six times, and led New England with 37 rushing yards.
- The exchange underscored Boston ties, as Maye frequently attends Celtics games and previously sat courtside for Brown’s playoff buzzer-beater.
