Carolina's stacked D highlights deep draft pool
Posted Aug 25, 2010
NFLDraftScout.com rates seven UNC senior defenders as potentially draftable prospects. Most notable among them are All-American safety Deunta Williams, outside linebacker Bruce Carter and defensive tackle Marvin Austin, assuming the latter is on the field in September, of course. The hype surrounding UNC's defense is so heavy, in fact, it isn't only NFL scouts excited about the Tar Heels' talent.
