NFL GM: Drake Maye 'Made of the Right Stuff' and 'Won't Shock Me' If He's the Best QB

North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye has solidified himself as one of the top prospects in this year's draft class, and a current NFL general manager believes he could be the best quarterback to come out of the 2024 draft, per The Athletic's Ben Standig.

"People are going to pick Maye apart," the GM said. "If he ends up being the best of the group, it won't shock me. He is made of the right stuff."

In his final season with the Tar Heels in 2023, Maye threw for 3,608 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions, adding another 449 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.
