Drake and his brothers shared the red carpet at the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday in Detroit. According to him, all four of them have no idea what they are doing, they are just trying to have a good time.
The QB is the smallest in frame among the siblings and the only one playing football like his dad Mark Maye. While the eldest Luke was a part of the Tar Heels basketball program for four seasons till 2019, Beau also played basketball for UNC till 2023. Maye’s other sibling Cole won a national title in Baseball with the Florida Gators. The brothers share a competitive yet heartwarming relationship together.
Drake Maye goes third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft
The top 3 picks in this year's draft were all quarterbacks, in a class overflowing with talented signal callers. While everyone expected Caleb Williams of the USC Trojans to go first overall to the Chicago Bears, nobody seemed to put together the next few picks. As it turns out, they were 2023 Heisman winner Jayden Daniels and North Carolina’s Drake Maye.
Maye will replace Mac Jones in the team who was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars after a few underwhelming seasons at Foxborough. But he will have a tall task, as expectations are high for him to match what Tom Brady did with the team. Will he be able to bear the weight that wearing the Patriots brown brings? They have a new head coach Jerod Mayo in place to try and take them back to the top.
