ESPN Gives High Marks to UNC Defenders
Posted Jan 21, 2010
The UNC football team’s defense looks to be a dangerous unit in 2010, and the national press is taking notice. ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has ranked three Tar Heels atop their position among players returning for the 2010 season. Quan Sturdivant is rated as the top inside linebacker, with running mate Bruce Carter slotted as the best outside linebacker. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin leads the way for his position group as well.
