Former Heels never experienced inappropriate agent contact

Posted Jul 22, 2010
If there was improper contact between UNC football players and agents, two former Tar Heels said they saw none of it this past season. Defensive end E.J. Wilson, who was taken by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round of the NFL draft in April, and defensive tackle Cam Thomas, who was a fifth-round pick by the San Diego Chargers, both said they never were offered money or benefits from agents.
