NFL Scout Grades Drake Maye's Arm Strength 7/10 and Below Josh Allen, Justin Herbert

Ahead of next week's 2024 NFL draft, an anonymous NFL scout gave their thoughts on how North Carolina's Drake Maye stacks up to some of the current top quarterbacks in the league.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, an AFC scout graded Maye's arm strength as a 7 out of 10, noting that it is "good but not that good," and not on par with Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills or Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, who are considered two of the strongest-armed quarterbacks in the NFL.

Even so, coaches who Fowler spoke to praised Maye's deep ball and noted that he is especially good on post routes.
