SAN JOSE, Calif. — A trip to the West Coast has done Drake Maye’s shoulder some good.
At Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday, Maye said his injured shoulder began feeling better when the Patriots ' team plane touched down in California on Sunday. He’s been managing the injury since the AFC Championship Game in Denver.

“I think I turned a corner landing on the flight,” Maye said at the San Jose Convention Center. “I felt good from the flight and throwing out there today, I think it turned the corner, and I really had no doubt in being 100% for the game: This is the Super Bowl. We get two weeks to prepare for it and do whatever we got to do to get it right.
“I’ve got confidence and feel good,” Maye added with a smile as he made a circle with his arm.
Maye’s shoulder limited him in practice last Thursday and then he missed Friday’s session due to an illness, but the second-year quarterback was back on the practice field at Stanford on Monday. He reported the shoulder responded well to airing the football out.
“I feel good. I’ll be just fine,” Maye said. “I threw a good bit. I threw as much as I would at a normal practice. I felt great and looking forward to getting back out there Wednesday and Thursday for practice again, and Friday, and get ready for a normal week of prep.”
