Javonte Williams and Michael Carter used to share carries for North Carolina, but all they’ll share Sunday will be the field in Denver when Williams’ Denver Broncos face Michael Carter’s New York Jets. The two talk frequently, even this week, after developing a friendship during their time playing together in Chapel Hill. "I love him so much," Carter said. (Tar Heel Tribune)
