NFL Scout: Drake Maye Will Be a 'Big Project,' Not 'Naturally Accurate' Passer

Some scouts believe North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye may need some help adjusting once the anticipated top-three 2024 draft pick makes it to the NFL.

"Drake's going to a be a big project because he's just not naturally accurate," an NFC scout told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Maye completed 269 of 425 pass attempts to mark a 63.3 percent completion rate in 2023.

"He's 6-5, he can definitely move around in the pocket. He's not going to be a statue. But he's closer to Brock Osweiler than he is to (Justin) Herbert in terms of athleticism for me," one AFC executive told Pelissero.
