Former North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye put together the best performance of his young NFL career on Sunday night. You wouldn’t know it, however, if you took a look at the Tar Heels’ social media presence.
In a 23-20 upset win over the Bills in Buffalo, Maye went 22-for-30 passing for 273 yards while tallying a passer rating of 101.1 and making some big time throws.
And yet, the 23-year-old’s alma mater has done nothing to promote the young star. Unfortunately, we know why.
According to a report from 247Sports’ Ross Martin, there has been a directive from UNC head coach Bill Belichick to not tweet or re-tweet anything Patriots-related from the team’s account. Belichick, of course, coached New England for 24 seasons from 2000 to ’24, winning six Super Bowls before being fired after two consecutive four-win campaigns.
Following the report from Ross Martin, North Carolina finally caved and posted something about Maye’s performance.
