“I would say the last ten minutes of that pro day can’t go much better.”
That was how ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky described Drake Maye’s workout today in front of NFL representatives, including Adam Peters and Dan Quinn.
As soon as the North Carolina pro day workout had concluded, ESPN went to a panel that discussed Maye’s passing workout.
Here is every Drake Maye throw from today’s UNC Pro Day.
“If you had asked me, Hannah (Storm), the number one thing that pops on tape is how good he throws the ball downfield. You know, the 15-25 yard throws.”
“When we were watching I said, ‘My goodness he has a hand cannon.’ Just the throws down the field, the last ten throws were absolutely spectacular. There was a couple misses early on. He missed a slant, he missed an out — that’s going to happen at times.”
“I think with what we saw, which was the great majority of his throws, you have to be really encouraged. I think the thing I was looking for most, Mike T (Tannenbaum), was how were his feet going to look?”
“Those definitely looked much improved when it came to the rhythm of his throwing, rather than the natural talent and athleticism of him throwing.”
Tannenbaum responded, “To that point, Hannah (Storm), I think he looked a lot like Justin Herbert: big, strong, and athletic. I think what we saw in the pro day sort of punctuated that because the ball came out really easy, and he could get the ball down the field flawlessly.”
