North Carolina's standout quarterback, Drake Maye, has stirred up a storm on social media with his recent selection of the ultimate quarterbacks. However, what caught the attention of many wasn't just his choices but the striking absence of diversity among them. As Maye discussed his picks on CBS Sports, fans quickly reacted to the glaring lack of representation in his lineup.

Among his selections were legendary quarterbacks like Tom Brady for toughness, Brett Favre for arm strength, and Drew Brees for accuracy. Yet, it was his choice for rushing ability, where he opted for Josh Allen over Lamar Jackson, that drew significant scrutiny.

Despite suggestions from the CBS Sports host to include Jackson, Maye stuck with Allen, further fueling the debate. Moreover, a deeper dive into Maye's social media activity revealed that he exclusively followed white quarterbacks, raising further eyebrows among critics.




In response, many fans took to social media to express their disappointment and accusations of racism against Maye. The controversy surrounding his choices has ignited a heated discussion about representation and diversity in football, particularly among aspiring NFL prospects like Maye.
