Drake Maye lived in North Carolina for his entire life prior to being drafted by the New England Patriots, but the quarterback is already embracing the Boston sports scene.
Maye on Tuesday attended Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics at TD Garden in Boston, Mass. The rookie sat courtside and blended in nicely with his Jayson Tatum jersey. Maye was shown on the big screen at one point and proudly showed off the No. 0 jersey.

Maye also celebrated a clutch three-pointer from the Celtics late in the game. A photo went viral that showed Maye in the background holding up the three-point symbol with Jaylen Brown in the foreground.

Fans in Boston are only going to love Maye if he helps the Patriots win games. But if he is trying to get on the good side of the local fanbase before his first NFL season, that is a great way to do it.
Maye certainly got to see an awesome game. The Celtics defeated the Pacers 133-128 in overtime following a thrilling finish in regulation.
