From highly recruited quarterback to Vikings linebacker, Chazz Surratt has traveled a ‘unique path’
Posted Jul 30, 2021
“For sure, (it was frustrating),” Chazz Surratt said of being replaced as UNC's starting quarterback. “I came in as a quarterback, so obviously my goal was to get to the NFL as a quarterback. But I just turned the page and was excited for the next step. Luckily, I had teammates and coaches that helped me do that because my goal was to play in the NFL.”
