Slimmer Sly Williams is bigger for UNC

Posted Aug 7, 2012
Sylvester ‘Sly’ Williams is a bit slimmer after a meeting with Larry Fedora motivated the defensive tackle to drop from over 330 pounds to just under 300 during the off-season. Due to his productive first season in Chapel Hill, Williams finds himself on the Outland and Lombardi Award Pre-Season Watch Lists for his senior season with the Tar Heels. (Carolina Blue)
