UNC is becoming a pipeline for offensive playmakers. They’ve produced Dyami Brown, Dazz Newsome, Javonte Williams, and Michael Carter, among others. Don’t think it ends there. Next in line is wide receiver Josh Downs, a talented junior whose bloodline carries NFL talent on both sides of the ball. Downs is the workhorse of the Tar Heels' passing game. (Pro Football Focus)
