The University of North Carolina's pro day last Thursday showcased the talents of star quarterback Drake Maye, drawing the attention of NFL teams, including the Denver Broncos. Broncos GM George Paton, along with quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, were present, as reported by the Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. The Denver Post's Parker Gabriel noted the attendance of Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.
While UNC boasted several draft prospects like receiver Devontez Walker, linebacker Cedric Gray, and defensive lineman Myles Murphy, it was Maye who stole the spotlight. Regarded as one of the top-three quarterbacks in this year's draft class, he's poised to make a significant impact in the NFL, possibly as a top-three pick in April.
Denver isn't new to Maye; they had a meeting with him earlier at the NFL combine this offseason. Maye expressed his excitement about meeting Coach Sean Payton, acknowledging Payton as one of the great offensive minds in football.
The Broncos hold the 12th overall pick in the draft, making it challenging to secure Maye without trading up. In a recent NFL mock draft, Denver made a bold move, trading with the New England Patriots to snag Maye at the third overall pick.
The upcoming NFL draft, scheduled for April 25-27 in Detroit, promises to be an exciting event for football fans.
