Nicks has a knack
Posted Nov 8, 2008
North Carolina wide receiver Hakeem Nicks' knack for yards-after-catch could easily be attributed to his strong frame, big hands and athletic agility. But there's another factor, according to the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder from Charlotte: "It's just a must." In his mind, he must get into the end zone every time he snags the football. He must lead his team to the ACC championship game. He must play someday in the NFL.
