Natrone Means reflects on return to UNC football

Posted Sep 19, 2025
Former UNC and NFL All-Pro running back Natrone Means was named the Tar Heels' running backs coach in January. "This program runs deep with me and my family. My daughter just graduated from here; she was on the women's soccer national championship team. I met my wife here, so this place holds a very special place in the Means family." (TarHeel247)
