The University of North Carolina all-time NFL team

Posted Apr 22, 2020
Arguably the greatest pass rusher in NFL history came out of the University of North Carolina. But Lawrence Taylor was not a one-man parade. Taylor isn’t even the highest Tar Heel on the NFL’s all-time sack list. That honor belongs to Julius Peppers, who retired after 17 NFL seasons in 2019. So the pass rush is clearly the strength of UNC's all-time NFL team. (Sports Illustrated)
