Projected to be one of the top three quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft, North Carolina’s Drake Maye will find himself playing for the pros in a couple of months. Thing is, there’s a chance he could play for the Washington Commanders when the new season starts.
During his time in North Carolina, Maye has established himself as one of the draft’s targeted guys by teams that’ll be selecting at the top. As it turns out, basketball is another sport he and his family have been into.
Standing at 6’4″ and weighing in at 230 lb, Maye defies the mold of what a typical quarterback in the NFL looks like. But according to Phil Longo, the prospect’s collegiate offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, he has good vision, very consistent with his decision-making, and an exceptional runner at the college level.
All these traits and more have made Maye an intriguing prospect for NFL teams when the draft comes around. Among those that have a good chance of selecting him are the Washington Commanders.
Drake Maye Shares His Thoughts On Possibly Joining The Washington Commanders
Just recently, Maye appered on the The Adam Schefter Podcast and revealed his true feelings about the possibility of being selected by the Washington Commanders and playing alongside Sam Howell. He shares those thoughts in a video posted on X:
“Yeah, he’s part of it. It’s one of those things that are not ideal, but is part of the business. We’ve done it in college together and we would help each other. And however the scenario goes, he’s still one of my best friends and there’d be no hard feelings. It would be a part of it. And being there as two quarterbacks in the same room isn’t a bad problem. There are bigger problems in the world.
The Chicago Bears are projected to select Caleb Williams using the first pick. After that, the Commanders are heavily-favored to land Maye in the upcoming draft. It’d be interesting to see how the prospect will perform in Washington after a good run at the college level and with Howell as his teammate there.
