Ryan Switzer out to prove he's a first-round NFL talent

Posted Apr 12, 2016
Last year Ryan Switzer helped UNC tie a school record with 11 wins and reach the ACC title game. As one of several key pieces returning to Chapel Hill this fall, he plans to play a role in elevating the Tar Heels to the next level, and in doing so, dramatically boost his NFL draft stock. "I believe I'm a first-round talent," Switzer says. "I have the opportunity this year to show that." (Campus Rush)
