College football players with most to prove

Posted Aug 22, 2013
James Hurst, OT, UNC: College football is loaded with quality offensive tackles; James Hurst would love to join that upper-echelon group and he'll have an opportunity to do just that in the Tar Heels' season opener. North Carolina goes on the road to play South Carolina and all-world defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. If Hurst can pitch a shutout in that contest, his stock will soar with NFL evaluators. (NFL.com)
