Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Maine): John Bunting

Posted May 21, 2019
John Bunting went to high school in Maryland, but he was born in Maine and to this day spends his summers in a cottage there. Therefore, Bunting, who starred at UNC as a player, spent 11 years in the NFL as a player, won a Super Bowl as a defensive coordinator and was UNC’s head coach for six seasons, is the Maine representative in this series.
