That is good news for a quarterback who was nursing a shoulder injury in the lead-up to February’s Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks.

Speaking to the Associated Press’ Steve Reed at the Truist Championship Pro-Am in Charlotte on Wednesday, Maye said that there would be no issues stemming from the ailment. As for the shoulder injury that hampered him down the stretch last season, Maye said he’s doing “great. ” “Nothing, nothing, no problems at all,” Maye said, adding that he did not need surgery.

Leading the Patriots to their first Super Bowl in seven years, Maye had one of the best individual seasons in franchise history. The second-year QB completed 72% of his regular season pass attempts for 4,394 yards as well as 31 touchdowns and only eight interceptions, and was later voted to his first career Pro Bowl. He also finished second in the MVP voting behind only the Rams’ Matthew Stafford.

In the postseason, Maye had a more difficult time. His completion rate dropped to 58. 3% over that four-game stretch, and he tossed only six touchdowns and four interceptions.
