Michael Carter, Javonte Williams Among Top 25 returning running backs for 2020

Posted Jan 24, 2020
UNC runs a scheme heavy on run-pass options and Michael Carter was pivotal in that. Carter finished the year as the 20th-most valuable running back overall and broke the 10th-most broken tackles per attempt out of an RPO. Carter got the starts, but Javonte Williams was the better running back in 2019 and will likely have an increased role in 2020. (Pro Football Focus)
