Mack Brown Sees Super Bowls Ahead for QB Drake Maye in NFL,
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — No matter when Drake Maye‘s NFL career effectively gets off the ground or whether the New England Patriots begin next season with journeyman Jacoby Brissett as their opening-day starter, North Carolina football coach Mack Brown envisions his former star quarterback ultimately reaching rarified air.
The Patriots made Maye the new fresh face of their franchise as the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft two weeks ago, and Brown said this week that he sees eventual greatness and Super Bowl trophies materializing in Maye’s professional future.
“I coached Troy Aikman (in college), and Troy really struggled early (in the NFL),” Brown said Monday, during an appearance with Boston radio station WEEI-FM.
