North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye is grabbing headlines lately as the NFL draft comes closer while enjoying downtime with girlfriend Ann Michael Hudson during the college football offseason.
Hudson took to Instagram to express her excitement and pride, resharing a bold statement, where Maye had declared:
"You don't want to game plan for me ― you want to game plan with me."

Despite a less-than-spectacular 2023 season, where Maye's Tar Heels finished 8-4, the quarterback's confidence is soaring. Maye threw for 3,608 yards with 24 TDs and nine interceptions to his name.
