Yates, Paulus, Sexton all have something to prove

Posted Apr 2, 2008

As North Carolina's record-setting quarterback stood in sweats and stared at a piece of paper with the day's spring practice plans on it, backups Mike Paulus and Cameron Sexton were in full gear, going through the drills on the sheet T.J. Yates was holding. Yates, who had shoulder surgery on Dec. 17, will finally throw the football again on April 7. Unfortunately for him, that's the last day of spring practice. (ESPN.com)
