Hakeem Nicks Breaks Record In Style

Posted Nov 9, 2008
Earlier this season, Hakeem Nicks hauled in a ridiculous catch in practice on what Cameron Sexton said was a poor throw by him. He flagged down his star wide out and said, "Man, you saved me right there. I appreciate it." Nicks looked at him, completely serious, and said, "Cam, I'm here to bring you back to life." He has done that, and he has helped bring this Carolina offense - and entire program - back to life. (Tar Heel Blue)
