Drake Maye's bold NFL Combine proclamation boosted his stock more than a throwing session would have

Posted Mar 2, 2024
Drake Maye is at the NFL Combine, but UNC’s star quarterback is not going to be throwing for teams. Without that throwing session, he still found a way to boost his draft stock on Friday. While speaking with the media, Maye mentioned meeting with the Commanders, Falcons, Broncos, Giants, and others. He later addressed his decision not to throw. (Saturday Road)
