Among those voracious gridiron faithful includes country star Chase Rice, who was on the verge of being an NFL player after making a name for himself as a standout linebacker for the North Carolina Tar Heels between the years 2005-2008. “I played under Butch Davis, John Bunting and Chuck Pagano, who’s now the head coach of the (Indianapolis) Colts, so I still stay in touch with all those guys,” Rice explained during an exclusive interview with Radio.com.
