- Looks like he is about 12
- Struggles to sense pressure
The notion that Drake Maye is a top 5 pick and on par with Caleb Williams is ludacris. He is going to get someone fired (similar to Bryce Young with Frank Reich) if he gets set with massive expectations in a top 5 selection. This is not to say Maye is not a starter in the NFL (he has that potential), but we would not go as far as saying he even has pro bowl potential. There is so much of Sam Darnold in Drake Maye. The size, long throwing motion, the decent athleticism, the spotty accuracy paired with an average arm, and the inability to sense pressure. Maye has far more development than people want to say, though he is extremely young so the time to develop him is there. Being taken day 2 would be the best for his career.
