Extra Points: Bonds To The Defensive Past

Posted Apr 12, 2010
Two links to Carolina's grandest era of defensive football were clearly visible to the incumbent Tar Heels this spring. For one there was Ebenezer Ekuban, a first-team All-ACC end in 1998 and later a menacing pass rusher for a decade in the NFL. For another there was Dre Bly, a three-time All-America cornerback who became wealthy and decorated snatching opposing aerials across the pro football landscape. (Tar Heel Blue)
