UNC quarterback Drake Maye could be available for the New England Patriots to take with the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft. However, some executives believe it could be a bad situation, if Maye is expected to start right away without the necessary offensive help around him.
This is something New England needs to consider, should they select the UNC star. Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has experience developing and working with quarterbacks. He served most recently as a quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns last year, and he also served the position with the Cincinnati Bengals, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and Frankfurt Galaxy throughout his career.
