On Thursday, the town of Maynard announced its plan, which would change the name of the town on Sunday, Feb. 8, the day the Patriots are set to play the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LV.
“The name change is, of course, a tribute to Patriots quarterback Drake Maye , who will lead the team as they seek their seventh championship title,” the town wrote in a press release.

Considered to be one of the league’s top MVP candidates, Maye led the NFL in completion percentage, passer rating and yards per attempt in 2025 and was named to his second Pro Bowl.
Under the team’s new head coach, Mike Vrabel, the Patriots won 14 games during the regular season. After rattling off three more wins in the playoffs, New England is off to take on Seattle in Super Bowl LV in Santa Clara, California.
