UNC football’s Pro Day wasn’t for quarterback Drake Maye, but it gave NFL scouts a head start on what could be in store for 2024. Maye, the reigning ACC Player of the Year and a projected top-five pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, embraced a secondary role Monday. Two of Maye’s former receivers – Josh Downs and Antoine Green – ran roughly 25 routes. (Fayetteville Observer)
