UNC receivers hope tennis treatment is a tune-up for dropped passes

Posted Oct 16, 2019
Mack Brown had a friend at practice that day and he didn’t understand why ACC receivers would spend nearly an hour catching tennis balls. “I said, "You know when you go to the golf course and they have these little practice holes, and you're trying to putt in? Then when you see the real hole, it's real big?’ It's the same thing with football,” Brown said. (Heels Maven)
