"I think the world of coach (Chris) Weinke," Maye said. "I got to meet coach (Jim) Chaney when I went up there and I think the world of him. It was a great environment when I got to watch them scrimmage. I liked the way the program is down there."
The time with Chaney proved to be very valuable, as the two had a chance to sit down and talk about what Chaney sees in Maye and how he could impact Tennessee.
"He said he liked how all-around my game is," Maye said. "He likes that I can stand in the pocket and make the throw or get out and make a throw on the run. He likes that I have the quarterback build and have toughness."
And Chaney's pedigree with quarterbacks and offensive success is something that stands out to Maye.
"He's done a great job everywhere he's been," Maye said. "He did a great job with Jake Fromm. They have stuff built in their offense that you see in the NFL so it's great."
Maye has known Tennessee quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke for a while. Weinke played for the Carolina Panthers and has ties to the Charlotte area.
"He's the best of the best," Maye said of Weinke. "He's a Heisman winner so he knows the position and he played in the NFL, which is the goal. It would be awesome to have a coach like that."
maybe we go after Deion’s kid
