Robert Quinn has 'Heisman' hopes for the coming season

Posted Jul 28, 2010
Butch Davis has coached a lot of talented defensive linemen during his 30-year career, but junior Robert Quinn could be one of the best he's ever seen. "I think he's got the potential to be as good as anybody as we've ever coached," Davis said Monday during the ACC Football Kickoff. The 6-5, 270-pound defensive end had 52 tackles and 11 sacks in 2009 and already is being projected as a top-five draft pick. (Durham Herald-Sun)
