Why UNC quarterback Drake Maye continues to run, take hits: "It's a grown man's game"

Posted Sep 21, 2023
Want to see UNC football coach Mack Brown cringe? Let Drake Maye tuck the ball and run it. And Maye will run. It’s a part of who he is as a quarterback. He’s also good at it. "He’s just so smooth and he’s fast, too," Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi said this week. "He’s deceivingly a fast guy for a big guy." Maye is a fearless type, and super competitive. (AOL.com)
