No rhyme for UNC's Shaun Draughn
Posted Nov 12, 2008
North Carolina tailback Shaun Draughn can't really blame people for pronouncing his name incorrectly for the first two-thirds of the season. After all, the sophomore was a reserve safety last year — meaning his name wasn't exactly announced on television all that often — and even he knows his name has more of a ring to it if you pronounce it as a rhyme. But for the record, it's pronounced "Drone," not "Drawn."
