UNC DB D.J. Ford Using Fresh Start To Make Positive Impression

Posted May 23, 2019
A coaching change atop North Carolina’s football program meant a new opportunity for D.J. Ford. That happened late last November, as Mack Brown replaced Larry Fedora at the helm, and with it came a fresh start for everyone on the roster and a new scheme to learn. Now healthy and with a bit of a new lease on his football life, Ford has impressed the new staff. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
