The UNC football program could potentially have the top overall draft pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and NFL teams are already considered to have him ranked higher than some of the 2023 prospects.
UNC quarterback Drake Maye is coming off of a terrific redshirt freshman season where he threw for 4,321 yards and a total of 45 touchdowns.
With at least one more season in Chapel Hill, Maye looks to be one of the top 2024 Draft prospects a this time next year.
On the Rich Eisen Show, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer says that “a lot of NFL teams” believe that Maye is considered a superior prospect to Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s CJ Stroud. He also mentioned USC’s Caleb Williams as another 2024 Draftee as a superior prospect.
NFL reporter Dov Kleiman broke down Maye’s game.
“Drake Maye also had an impressive season in 2022, where he threw for 4,321 yards and had 45 total touchdowns. He also added nearly 700 yards rushing to his stats, showcasing his mobility and versatility on the field. Maye was a standout player for North Carolina, and his performances have garnered the attention of several NFL teams. Maye has shown that he has the ability to make accurate throws and read defenses well, making him a promising prospect for the NFL.”
This isn’t the first time NFL teams have looked at Maye as a top draft prospect and potentially superior talent.
Heading into the 2023 season, Maye will surely be on the short list of favorites for the Heisman Trophy. He was ranked among the top returning players according to On3.
Maye is coming off of an ACC Player of the Year season in which he helped lead UNC to a 9-5 record and Holiday Bowl appearance.
