Drake Maye, Bill Belichick pose next to each other in viral picture

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was spotted at the fifth annual Heels at the Rabbit Hole spring charity event alongside other past and current influential North Carolina Tar Heels, including Tar Heels football coach Bill Belichick.

The Heels at the Rabbit Hole is a community event aimed at raising money in support of local children. According to table_nc, the event raised over $1 million to help feed local kids in Orange County.

During the event, Maye and Belichick came together and posed for a group photo that has gone viral on social media. It's an interesting crossroads, considering Belichick was the architect behind the all-time great Patriots dynasty.

However, the same year after his split with the team, the Patriots selected Maye with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. It's a pick that many doubt Belichick would have made if he were still in charge in New England.

With less than two full years of NFL experience under his belt, Maye has earned a Pro Bowl invite, an All-Pro nod, an AFC East division title, an AFC Championship win and a trip to a Super Bowl.

Things have obviously come full circle with Maye being the franchise quarterback in New England and Belichick going on to coach at North Carolina, where Maye played for three seasons.

If anything, it's a picture frozen in time with its central figures flipped as the old and new guard—Belichick with the Tar Heels and Maye with the Patriots.
