NFL Mock Drafts Like Hakeem Nicks

Posted Jan 26, 2009
UNC record-setting receiver Hakeem Nicks is receiving quite a bit of pre-NFL draft buzz just a few weeks after his 217-yard performance against West Virginia in the Meineke Bowl. Nicks, who established 14 records at UNC, is in the first round of most NFL mock drafts. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has Nicks at No. 22, heading to the Minnesota Vikings. Meanwhile, FoxSports.com has Nicks going to the Dolphins at No. 25. (Tar Heel Blue)
