  "account": "North Carolina football stars Drake Maye and Devontez Walker had standout performances in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. Maye, the 2023 ACC's Second-Team All-ACC quarterback, led the New England Patriots to a 45-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, tallying five touchdowns. Walker, who had played limited minutes for Kent State before transferring, caught the Ravens' final touchdown in a 30-23 win against the Atlanta Falcons. After a sluggish start to the 2026-27 NFL campaign, Maye delivered another strong showing, completing 26 of 34 passes for 374 yards and 4 touchdowns, while adding 25 rushing yards and another score on 7 carries. Walker, while limited in the passing game, excelled with a crucial 7-yard touchdown catch. Both players have since moved on to new teams, but their contributions to their respective victories highlight their continued success at the NFL level.",
