but they felt it was a unique opportunity they couldn&#8217;t pass up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The trade offers, I won\u2019t say they were constant, but there were different points throughout the process where there were trades,&#8221; said Wolf.\u00a0 &#8220;But all along, we knew we were in a unique opportunity to get a quarterback that we liked, and we were obviously able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maye is a guy who is certainly somewhat of a project, as it&#8217;s been pretty well documented that he&#8217;s got some issues to work out from a fundamental standpoint.\u00a0 However, at 6&#8217;4&#8221;, 223 pounds, he&#8217;s certainly got the physical traits you look for, along with the athleticism and strength that certainly check all the important boxes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131;

said Wolf.\u00a0 &#8220;At the end of the day, we felt comfortable with those things and really betting on the talent and the kid.\u00a0 Drake\u2019s a relentless worker from all the indications that we have, and he\u2019s going to be able to overcome some of the things in the areas that he needs to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jerod Mayo also said that as of now, Maye absolutely has a lot of work ahead of him, adding that the rookie&#8217;s work ethic is something that he believes gives him a good chance to go out there and play at a high level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re not sitting here saying that Drake is our starting quarterback,&#8221; said Mayo.\u00a0 &#8220;I think he understands that. He understands the things that he has to get better at, and with coaching and once again, the hard work, and the coaches that we have, the support system from ownership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he has a chance to go out there and really play at a high level. You can talk about potential all you want to, until you reach it, it really doesn\u2019t matter. But we do know the man.
