QBs Maye, Penix put in solid pro days … Nobody these days knows whether these scripted pro day passing sessions mean anything or not, but if they do Drake Maye of North Carolina and Washington’s Michael Penix had solid performances in their on-field workouts earlier today. Passing in front of pretty much the same throng of scouts and NFL execs that watched Jayden Daniels do his thing at LSU yesterday, Maye reportedly got off to something of a slow start with more than one real miss, but then settled down and completed a series of on-the-money bombs. Penix, who is considered to be QB6 of the 6 top rated QBs in the 2024 draft field, meanwhile actually had what might very well have been the best overall pro day workout of any of the 6. Penix started his day running a sub-4.6 40 and posting an athletic 36.5-inch vertical just to show he’s actually a pretty good athlete although he doesn’t run much at all. Penix then put on a passing clinic with just about every pass on the numbers in stride, although he still has that somewhat awkward, three-quarter arm lefty release. And while most of the teams who were checking out Daniels at the LSU pro day yesterday made the relatively short jaunt over to North Carolina to check out the Tar Heels’ Maye, the Giants’ rntourage including GM Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll and OC Mike Kafka went the other way and took in the Huskies’ event. The Giants though will have a private workout with Maye earky next week after they do the same with JJ McCarthy on Sunday in Michigan.
