UNC football coaching staff hopes to push Eric Ebron to greater production

Posted Aug 23, 2013
Football coaches aren’t known for coddling, especially in the preseason. The UNC staff has been especially tough on Eric Ebron, who at 6-foot-4 and 254 pounds is among the Tar Heels’ most physically imposing offensive players. Walt Bell, the tight ends coach, and Blake Anderson, the offensive coordinator, have constantly pushed Ebron through the preseason. Good hasn’t been good enough. (Charlotte Observer)
