Rough-and-tumble childhood mostly out of the way for E.J. Wilson

Posted Oct 21, 2008
E.J. Wilson hasn't had many painful experiences since he arrived at North Carolina. There was a shoulder sublimation a couple of years ago that didn't feel so good. Wilson had to miss spring practice in 2007 while recovering from that. And losses like Saturday's to Virginia certainly don't tickle. But neither the shoulder nor the disappointing moments on the field compare to the long list of injuries Wilson racked up as a youngster. (Durham Herald-Sun)
