An anonymous NFL executive believes that the Washington Commanders should hire Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as the team's new head coach and draft North Carolina standout quarterback Drake Maye, according to Mike Sando of The Athletic.
"One exec suggested Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who played at North Carolina and could draft a quarterback from there with the second pick if he liked Drake Maye."
Maye wrapped up another tremendous season for the Tar Heels in 2023, showcasing several traits that should translate to the professional level such as his accuracy while completing passes on the run and his ability to make off-script plays.
