Cam Newton: Drake Maye Has ‘Biggest Upside’ of 2024 Draft QBs, is Best Built for NFL

Former Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton voiced his support for North Carolina’s Drake Maye as the 2024 NFL draft approaches. On his show, 4th & 1, Newton asserted that Maye holds the most potential of any quarterback in the draft, drawing comparisons to Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers.

However, Newton expressed some reservations regarding Maye’s performance and leadership during his time at UNC. Despite the Tar Heels reaching 10th in the polls in 2023, they struggled towards the end of the season, and Maye’s stats slightly declined compared to the previous year.

Despite these concerns, Newton praised Maye’s physical attributes, highlighting his size (6’4″ and 223 pounds) and scrambling ability, which he believes make him well-suited for the NFL. Maye himself has acknowledged Newton as one of his role models in the game.

The endorsement from Newton showcases a level of mutual respect between the former MVP and Maye, even though Newton acknowledges uncertainties about Maye’s potential success in the NFL.
