The time when a select few UNC players learn their NFL home is inching closer. One of those is starting quarterback [autotag]Drake Maye[/autotag], who is looked at as a top-two player in the upcoming draft.
Pro days give players one last chance to show teams what they can do in a workout and drills within familiar surroundings. UNC pro day was scouted by teams that hold early draft picks.
Among those teams attending were the Washington Commanders (second overall pick) and the New England Patriots (third). Following pro day, Mack Brown took to the X platform to post a picture with some familiar faces.

Many draft boards have Drake Maye going second to the Commanders. In three seasons, Maye completed 618 passes (64.9%) for 8,018 passing yards, 63 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Maye proved as dangerous on his feet, with 449 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.
There have been a few mumbles of a potential draft drop for Maye, but after a successful pro day, those doubts should be laid to rest.
