No. 3: Drake Maye will have a proper sendoff

Drake Maye, who still can return to the UNC football program next season, has elected not to participate in “Senior Day.”

Now, we all know he’s likely NFL-bound, I mean, can you blame him? Dude will be a top-5 pick if he does declare to go pro.

Although we won’t have a chance to give him the ovation he deserves during the pregame festitivies, Maye will leave us all with a performance that we’ll remember for quite some time.

In what will be his final home game as a Tar Heel, Maye will have one of his best overall performances. Expect 300+ passing yards, 2+ touchdown passes and, most importantly, a Tar Heels victory.
