Tar Heels to hold pro day

Posted Mar 31, 2011
Nineteen former North Carolina football players will participate today in UNC's annual pro timing day - including three who were dismissed permanently for violating NCAA rules and missed all of last season. Wide receiver Greg Little, defensive tackle Marvin Austin and defensive end Robert Quinn are being allowed to return, athletic director Dick Baddour said, because it's a way for the players - and the school - to move forward.
