UNC Football's Key Position Replacements

Posted Jun 26, 2014
No. 1 – C Lucas Crowley Russell Bodine, North Carolina’s best and most consistent offensive lineman last season, was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft, leaving Crowley as the Tar Heels’ new starting center. Crowley registered well over 100 snaps last season, so he is not completely untested, but this will be his first time anchoring the offensive line on a full-time basis. (Southern Pigskin)
