A softspoken sack master

Posted Oct 26, 2007

It's almost hard to believe they are the same person. One Hilee Taylor - the one that exists during the week - is reserved, soft-spoken and modest. He wears a gold cross necklace and a light-hearted grin, and if it weren't for his 6-3, 245-pound frame, he'd seem like the unlikeliest candidate for theatrics. The other Hilee Taylor, the one that steps onto the turf every Saturday, is anything but polite -at least to opposing quarterbacks. (Daily Tar Heel)
