Tar Heels' Balmer may go early in NFL Draft
Posted Apr 24, 2008
Kentwan Balmer has risen steadily on NFL Draft charts in his last year at North Carolina, despite never having played on a team with a winning record. He has a chance of being picked during Saturday's first two rounds of the draft, perhaps even late in the first round. He is elated to be in such a promising draft position and is confident that he can play in the NFL, but reaching this point has proved to be an arduous endeavor.
