Miami Dolphins Visit Chapel Hill

Posted Apr 1, 2009

The NFL Draft is just a few weeks away and several clubs have visited Chapel Hill to evaluate the Tar Heels' pro prospects. Obviously, many teams are interested in receiver Hakeem Nicks, who projects as a probable first- or second-round pick, but the Tar Heels have several potential draft picks this season. Last Saturday, the Miami Dolphins sent GM Jeff Ireland and head coach Tony Sparano to Chapel Hill for a visit. (Tar Heel Blue)
