Yates expects to spread the ball around
Posted Jul 27, 2009
North Carolina’s receivers were marvelous last season, with Hakeem Nicks playing at a different level once Brandon Tate was injured. But this year, the Tar Heels receiving corps has to be revamped, with Nicks and Tate off to the NFL and quarterback T.J. Yates throwing to an inexperienced group. So far, Yates likes what he sees. He said Greg Little has emerged as a leader at receiver.
