Here’s a hot take for the beginning of the college football preseason: Drake Maye is really good.
Okay, now that the dumb joke is out of the way, let’s actually talk about Maye, how lucky we are as UNC fans to have him, and how the rest of the quarterback room looks. The long and short of it is that Maye is already playing the position at the highest level we’ve ever seen in Chapel Hill and that he more or less willed his team to a 9-win season last year, and returns to college football as inarguably a top-3 player at his position in the country — and I don’t think it’s crazy to put him at #1.
