Tudor: Hakeem Nicks has what it takes to star in NFL

Posted Oct 27, 2008
That Hakeem Nicks can be officially ordained as the best wide receiver in Carolina history was probably a foregone conclusion weeks ago. But after scoring four times and piling up 139 yards against the Eagles, there's no doubt at all now. "He's going to be a pro, a big-time pro," said radio analyst Bobby Ross, who coached Georgia Tech to a share of the 1990 national championship. "It's probably a question now of whether he goes out early or comes back for another season. But there's no doubt he's really exceptional." (Charlotte Observer)
