Patriots quarterback Drake Maye told a caller on Boston’s WEEI-FM on Monday that he is "a little bit skeptical" about whether the moon landings actually happened. The comment came after Maye was named AFC offensive player of the week for a 29‑26 win over the Buffalo Bills, where he completed 22 of 37 passes for 269 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while rushing for 54 yards.

When asked which conspiracy theory he secretly believed, Maye said he wasn’t sure "200% if we went there or not" and did not lean either way. He noted he once took a class on conspiracy theories at the University of North Carolina, studying topics such as whether Hitler survived the war and whether birds are government spying devices.

Maye is not the first athlete to voice moon‑landing doubt. The article cites Stephen Curry’s 2018 comment (later retracted), Danica Patrick’s 2024 Instagram story, Celtics guard Derrick White’s earlier‑year remark, and golfer Bryson DeChambeau’s suggestion that some footage may be fake.
