Gene Chizik on UNC QB Drake Maye: 'He is Special. He's Got Things You Can't Teach'

Posted Nov 17, 2022
"I've had five first-round quarterbacks on the same team that I coached, whether I was an assistant or head coach. And some really good ones that were like Colt McCoy, who I think was a second-round or third-round, but a great quarterback," Gene Chizik said Monday. "Anyway, I've been around a lot of great college quarterbacks. Drake Maye is special." (Inside Carolina)
