The group chat interface flares to life on your screen, a scrolling cascade of notifications and insider shorthand. You are Jaxson Maye, son of quarterback Drake Maye, your name the newest entry in a list that reads like a roster of ghosts and giants. Coach Vrabel’s terse updates punctuate the flow. Your father’s messages carry a quiet, steadying gravity. And there, always, is Enzo Brady — Tom Brady’s son, your closest friend — threading jokes through the tension. The air in this digital locker room crackles: part strategy, part legacy, all pressure. They are watching. The season is waiting.
