“One of the first things he says, ‘Keep the schedule the same. It’s gonna be hard,’” Maye said on SiriusXM .
Manning won two Super Bowls in his career — one with the Indianapolis Colts and one with the Denver Broncos .
For Maye, he called the Pro Football Hall of Famer reaching out a full circle moment.
“I was at the game 10 years ago when Peyton won against the Panthers (in Super Bowl 50),” Maye said . “That was the year my dad brought me, so it’s a pretty cool moment to kind of get to know some of these guys that I looked up to.
“It’s pretty special that now they’re reaching out to me and taking their time out of their day to try to help me try to go win the big one,” he added . “So it means the world, and it’s pretty cool.”

Maye also received advice from Tom Brady , who told the 23-year-old “there’s no shortcuts” in the NFL.
Maye , in his second NFL season, will try give the Patriots their seventh Super Bowl , and join Brady as the only New England quarterback to lead the team to a championship victory.
