Zack Pianalto poised to follow TE tradition
Posted Aug 13, 2009
The list of names sells itself: Bubba Franks, Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow. Butch Davis recruited all three tight ends when he was the football coach at the University of Miami. All three left college as first-round picks, and all three attained Pro Bowl status in the NFL. So when it was time for tight end Zack Pianalto to pick a college, joining Davis at UNC was a no-brainer.
