Leon Lett At Football Practice

Posted Mar 18, 2008

Former Dallas Cowboy defensive tackle Leon Lett, nicknamed "The Big Cat," attended North Carolina's football practice on Monday. Lett was coached by both Butch Davis and John Blake while a member of the Cowboys. In fact, Lett was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 1994 while under Blake's tutelage. Standing 6-6 and looking like he could still play, Lett was easy to spot at Monday's practice, towering above the Tar Heels in a black sweatsuit. (Tar Heel Blue)
