Drake Maye emerges as a promising quarterback prospect who might catch the attention of the New England Patriots with the third overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
Alongside Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, Maye has been a consistent topic of discussion for the top selections. The North Carolina quarterback possesses notable talent and physical stature. However, there are lingering doubts about his college performance, prompting further scrutiny.
FS1’s Colin Cowherd has been vocal about Maye’s potential drawbacks, emphasizing his sporadic production during college games. Cowherd suggests that while extraordinary physical attributes can compensate for inconsistencies, Maye’s physical profile doesn’t set him apart in that regard. Despite comparisons to NFL stars like Josh Allen and Justin Herbert, Cowherd remains skeptical about Maye’s ability to replicate their success due to concerns about his inconsistency.
Furthermore, Cowherd raises doubts about Maye’s potential fit within the Patriots’ offensive system, especially if it lacks proven success. He implies that Maye and other top prospects could struggle if drafted by New England.
Ultimately, whether Maye will still be available at the third pick or if he remains a viable option for the Patriots remains uncertain. The NFL Draft, scheduled to commence on April 25 in Detroit, will reveal the fate of Maye and other prospects.
