Time will tell which of the six quartebacks taken in the first 12 selections of the 2024 draft will be regarded as the best of the bunch.
Buffalo Bills face the 11-2 New England Patriots in a crucial Week 15 matchup. Quarterback Drake Maye is confirmed to play for the Patriots, who aim to clinch the division with a win. Buffalo seeks to keep their playoff hopes alive and pressure New England's lead.
Maye has flourished under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and revitalized the Patriots this season, leading the team to an 11-2 record. A win on Sunday over the Buffalo Bills would guarantee the team a playoff spot and the AFC East divisional title. So far this year, Maye has thrown for 3,412 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
In the first 100-plus years of the National Football League, there had never been a top-tier quarterback from the University of North Carolina. Never. Until now.
