Buffalo Bills superstar QB labels ex-UNC football star his 'favorite young QB'
When one of the greatest football players at a specific position speaks regarding his view of young talent at the same position, ears tend to listen. This is exactly what happened in a recent interview when Buffalo Bills superstar QB and NFL MVP called Drake Maye, "one of my favorite young quarterbacks in the league." Coming off of his first MVP season, Allen threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns with just six interceptions. The latter two of those three are both career highs for the seven-year veteran. Now, Allen has his sights set on a Lombari Trophy. However, this offseason, Allen gave high praise to one of the NFL's brightest young talents, who also happens to be a former Tar Heel. This interview was conducted with Liam McKeone of Sports Illustrated. Allen was responding to a question related to how former teammate Stefon Diggs can help develop Drake Maye and why is such a fan of the young quarterback. "I think he brings a lot of security for Drake. Obviously, having the knowledge of playing in the league for so long, he has that veteran mentorship that he can give to Drake. I think Drake is super talented, he's one of my favorite young quarterbacks in the league. I've spent some time around him and he's got his head on his shoulders the right way. He just does things the right way. I think that he exemplifies football. He'll take it and run, he'll throw it and to have someone like Stefon is going to help him out a lot." Heading into his sophomore season with the New England Patriots, Drake Maye is looking to build on the success of his rookie year. Last season, he threw for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. He completed 66.6% of his passes while averaging just 6.7 yards per completion. The addition of superstar receiver Stefon Diggs and rookie Kyle Williams to the already budding Javon Baker and DeMario Douglas should help Maye expound on those numbers in year two.

Jamie Arnold goes in top 5 of latest MLB mock draft
FSU pitcher Jamie Arnold is going to be one of the first players taken in the 2025 MLB draft, it is just a matter of how early someone will draft him. Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of think he will go quite early and have the Colorado Rockies selecting him with the No. 4 overall pick in their latest mock draft. The duo thinks Arnold's ceiling and floor combo makes him appealing to the Rockies. "The Rockies can get a really polished college pitcher who maybe doesn't have Seth Hernandez's incredible ceiling but still has a really high ceiling and a really high floor." Arnold had a strong junior season for the Seminoles, headlining their excellent starting rotation. He finished with an 8-2 record and a 2.98 ERA. In 84.2 innings, he recorded 119 strikeouts against 63 hits and 27 walks. He held opponents to a .208 batting average and has already made four All-American teams. If he is taken 4th overall, he would be the highest drafted Seminole since the Philadelphia Phillies took J.D. Drew with the 2nd overall pick in 1987. Arnold would also become the second-highest drafted pitcher in program history, with only Paul Wilson ahead of him. The 2025 MLB draft will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, and last from July 13-14. The Seminoles had two first-round picks last year in James Tibbs III and Cam Smith.
