Tar Heels in NFL: Javonte Williams show runs onto national TV stage Thursday

Posted Oct 20, 2021
Javonte Williams and the Denver Broncos will play Thursday against the Cleveland Browns at 8:20 p.m. Williams' running style, familiar to Tar Heels fans, is turning heads around the NFL. The latest example was a run last Sunday when he hurdled over a would-be tackler. It’s led to a lot of questions about how he evolved into that kind of running back. (Tar Heel Tribune)
