The Drake Maye Report: Rookie QB isn't lighting it up, and that's OK
Posted Aug 1, 2024
Things are moving quickly for No. 3 overall draft pick Drake Maye. His head may be spinning, but that is to be expected through six practices. This Alex Van Pelt offense is a timing-and-rhythm-obsessed system. That was not how Maye's offense was structured at UNC. It is likely going to take a while for him to get comfortable playing in a different scheme.
