Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Success in the NFL starts with where you go, here's where you should and shouldn’t want Drake Maye to be drafted. After nearly two years of hype, Drake Maye is about to find out which team he will call home for the next few seasons. With all of the deep dives that have been made about Maye and his ability to play in the pros, there’s been one thing that has been missing in the discussion — that his success will very much depend on the team that takes him.

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports Not quite a leap, but the pollen says it’s spring. The Spring Game, much like Gil Scott-Heron’s revolution, will not be televised. The Tar Heels and Coach Brown traded ACC Network access to an open practice earlier this week for the opportunity to keep this season’s spring game under wraps, keenly identifying a valuable opportunity to gain an edge going into a big-time season opener against the mighty Golden Gophers of Minnesota, hot as they are off of a rousing 6-7 campaign last year. The reasoning given for this swap was a desire to keep defensive scheme changes s ..read more
