Tar Heels sorting out an unproven bunch of WRs
Posted Aug 8, 2009
Butch Davis never had to worry about throwing downfield during his first two years at UNC. Not with receivers such as Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster pulling the ball in for big gains. This season, that proven receiving talent is gone. The Tar Heels' top returning receiver is a running back. The most experienced wideout has 24 career catches while bouncing between positions.
