UNC football, 'balling in Carolina blue,' racks up sacks with potent pass rush vs Stanford

North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick has consistently referred to Melkart Abou-Jaoude as one of the Tar Heels’ hardest workers.

He’s gotten a lot stronger,” Belichick said. “He’s explosive, he’s strong.” (MSN.com)
