Each team will have custom music playing underneath their intro,s too, highlighting bands local to Boston and Seattle. The network requested refreshed intros from certain players ahead of the Super Bowl, so their faces would match other images shown during the broadcast, and Maye recorded his new intro as part of that refresh.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever it is, NBC thinks it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NBC filmed Drake Maye recording a new player intro for the Super Bowl.
