In two of his three years at North Carolina, wide receiver Josh Downs was the ‘guy’ for Tar Heels quarterbacks Sam Howell and Drake Maye. Downs proved to be the receiver that the quarterbacks looked for when they needed to make a big play. He delivered back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons and was one of the best receivers in the country. (Tar Heels Wire)
