UNC Football April 17 Open Practice Observations: Offense

Posted Apr 19, 2021
UNC's quarterbacks continue to impress. Sam Howell was outstanding on Saturday. So was Jacolby Criswell. He completed a beautiful pass to J.J. Jones that went about 45 yards to the left side of the end zone. It was a great throw by Criswell, one of several for him in the scrimmage. He is really starting to look the part. He is clearly ahead of Drake Maye. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
