Mack Brown Stands Up For Drake Maye, Though He Didn't Like Comment

Posted Sep 21, 2022
"You can’t be cute anymore," Mack Brown said regarding Drake Maye's comment about NC State. "He was trying to be funny. Drake is one of the nicest young people I’ve ever met. He always wants to do things right. He was cutting up, and I said, 'You can’t do it.' That kind of dies now with social media. He was absolutely cutting up. Obviously, it wasn’t true."
