ACC has some steals with regard to the upcoming draft

Posted Apr 20, 2009
UNC’s Brandon Tate could have more of an impact on this NFL season than anyone in the draft. That is, if the left knee he injured last season against Notre Dame is completely rehabilitated. He’s got those same qualities as Billy Johnson, but he’s faster, more explosive, and he will wreak havoc on opposing teams. I think he’s the most breath-taking player I’ve seen in the Triangle in 14 years, and that would include Torry Holt. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
