Who Picks Nicks? Former receiver for UNC says he doesn't know

Posted Apr 22, 2009
Hakeem Nicks has finished all the preliminary work he needed to do for this weekend's NFL Draft, and all that's left for him now is to sit and wait to be selected. Nicks, a former UNC receiver, doesn't know what might develop for him during Saturday's early rounds despite an extensive set of workouts and interviews with NFL coaches and player-development personnel. "I kind of thought I would have some kind of clue, but honestly I don't," Nicks said. (Winston-Salem Journal)
