Ranking ACC Units: Defensive Backs

Posted Jul 3, 2009
3) North Carolina Tar Heels: The Tar Heels Kendric Burney is one of the top returning corner backs in the ACC. Safety Denuta Williams suffered a wrist injury in the offseason, and missed spring practice, but he's one of the top safeties in the league. The Heels must find a replacement for Trimane Goddard who had seven interceptions last year. Da'Norris Searcy looks like the top candidate to take the strong safety spot. (Bleacher Report)
