Five ACC Players who will be missed the most

Posted Aug 25, 2009
Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina: How good was Nicks? Nicks led the ACC in receiving yardage (1,222) and touchdowns (12) in 2008 and decided to pass up his senior season and enter the NFL. After just three seasons Nicks left Chapel Hill as the school’s all-time leader in receptions (181) and yardage (2,840). North Carolina lost its top three receivers from last season.
