Posted Aug 9, 2024
UNC football fans and New England Patriots fans came together on Thursday night, as they tuned in to watch the highly-anticipated NFL debut of star quarterback Drake Maye. Maye’s debut was very short-lived, as he played the Patriots’ second drive Thursday and entered 3:56 into the opening quarter. Maye completed his first pass for a 13-yard first down.
