Two of the best to ever play the position at North Carolina are meeting up in joint practices this weekend ahead of a showdown between their two teams in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Drake Maye of the New England Patriots and Sam Howell of the Minnesota Vikings are together again, like they were at UNC for a short time.
The two quarterbacks started back-to-back careers at North Carolina all their way to the NFL. Howell came first and played at North Carolina from 2019-2021. He played in 37 games, totaling 1,117 yards and 92 touchdowns with 23 interceptions.
