Drake Maye's brothers give him inspiring messages ahead of Super Bowl LX, urging him to "take no [expletive]" and remind him that his success is the result of years of hard work.
The three older brothers - Luke, Cole, and Beau - each gave Drake a special message in a video posted by the Players' Tribune. Luke Maye said, "You're going to play lights out, just like you always have in big games." The 100-second-long video featured pictures and videos of Maye from his childhood.
Cole Maye credited his younger brother for the work he's put in over the years, saying, "This wasn't luck and this was never promised, but here you are. After many hours grinding on your craft." Beau Maye expressed awe at what his little brother has accomplished, calling it "so special."
The Maye family is known for its athletic success. Their father, Mark, was a standout quarterback at North Carolina, while Luke and Beau played basketball for the university's men's team. Cole played baseball for Florida, leading the team to the College World Series in 2017.
The brothers' mantra, "Maye Way, baby," which translates to "Be the leader, take control, and show no mercy," is what they live by. This message was reiterated at the end of their video message to Drake.
For Drake Maye, having brothers who have been successful athletes has kept him humble. The eldest three siblings have also teased him in the past, with a viral video showing them jokingly trash-talking him after he was selected with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
This time around, though, their message is more serious as Maye prepares to play in the biggest game of his life. With their support and words of encouragement, Drake may be able to channel their inspiration into a standout performance on Sunday.

like they're speaking straight to his soul and it's so beautiful how proud they are of him, but also how grounded he is by their presence 
cole's words really stood out to me, it's not just about the luck or the talent, it's about the grind and putting in the work for years on end 
i love how the maye family has that mantra "maye way, baby" it's so relatable, you know? being a leader, taking control, and showing no mercy - that's what we all strive for, especially when it comes to our passions 
and they're all rooting for him hard 
. I think what resonates with me most is Cole saying "this wasn't luck, this was years of grinding" 
. It's a great reminder that success ain't always easy 
.
. I love how humble Drake seems to be despite all his success, especially with having brothers who have been athletes themselves.
.
- what an incredible journey he's been on! His brothers' messages have got me hyped 
. I'm sure Drake will draw energy from their words of encouragement and use them as fuel for an epic performance on Sunday 
. The way his brothers are going all out to motivate him before the big game is really touching 
. They're not just saying anything, they're coming from a place of love and pride, which I think will definitely help him focus and do his best on Sunday 
. It's also crazy to see how far he's come, especially with all those hours of grinding on his craft, as Cole said 
. Anyway, wish him the best and hoping he crushes it out there 
It's so sweet that they're remindin' him to stay focused and keep grindin', 'cause at the end of the day it's all about puttin' in the work. I mean, their "Maye Way" mantra is everything! 
Classic bros! Now, with this serious message from his big bros, I'm hyped to see Drake crush it on Super Bowl LX! 
- it's clear that brotherly love and support is the real MVP 
. With their "Maye Way" mantra, they're remindin' Drake to stay focused and take control out there 
, and it's awesome that they live by it and are passin' it on to their little bro. It's like, family support is the best kind of motivation 
I think its so cool how the Maye brothers are coming together to support their little bro Drake before the Super Bowl 
omg u gotta love dis!!! 
they r all super supportive & ur brothers are like "yooo we got yur back" 
& now dey r remindin him 2 stay focused & not 4get all da hard work he put in 
. It's just another way for them to get more clicks and views on the Player's Tribune website. Can't they just let Drake focus on the game without all this extra drama? 
I mean, yeah, it's nice that his brothers are supporting him and all, but do we really need a 100-second video montage of pictures and videos from his childhood to make us feel good about it? 
. Can't they come up with something more original? 
anyway back to the Mayes... it's crazy how much talent they have in one family right? i mean, their dad played football and all his sons are playing sports too... what a legacy!
