Though Not Yet Draft-Eligible, Drake Maye Wowed Scouts On Pro Day

Posted Mar 28, 2023
Pro Day at UNC on Monday wasn’t about Drake Maye, but he threw to receivers, and stood out to the 45 NFL people on hand. So did Josh Downs and Antoine Green, a pair of former UNC receivers who have turned heads. Downs could slide into the first round of the draft. Maye, however, got a one-year head start on showing his stuff in front of NFL personnel. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
