Drafting Drake Maye ‘will get you fired’: Merril Hoge
NY Post
Merril Hoge has a warning for NFL coaches and general managers with picks near the top of the 2024 NFL Draft: Prepare to be on the unemployment line if you select Drake Maye.
Maye is projected to be a top-three pick later this month with the likelihood being that he goes to the Commanders with the No. 2 pick or the Patriots right behind them.
“Drake Maye is the kind of player that will get you fired,” Hoge said on WCCO radio. “Especially if you draft him in the top five or top three, he’s going to get you fired.”
With USC’s Caleb Williams expected to be drafted No. 1, Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, are expected to go No. 2 and No. 3, though it’s unclear who will be selected first.
Hoge compared Maye to Titans quarterback Malik Willis, who was a third-round pick in 2022 and is behind Will Levis on Tennessee’s depth chart.
“Willis might be the only guy that I can think of that is as erratic as Maye,” said Hoge, who was an ESPN analyst from 1996-2017 after the running back played eight seasons for the Steelers and Bears.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
