Sporting News' Top 100: No. 23 North Carolina
Posted Aug 12, 2009
Linebacker Zach Brown's 40-yard dash this spring was so fast the North Carolina strength coaches made him do it again. Surely, they thought, the timer made a mistake. Brown had been timed at 4.28 seconds in the 40. As it turned out, there was no mistake. The second time, with four strength coaches timing him, he ran it in 4.26 seconds. His teammates erupted in excitement after the time was announced.
