2008 ACC Football Season Preview: North Carolina

Posted Aug 12, 2008

The Tar Heels appear to have good players at all positions on offense, however the most experienced and most polished group is wide receiver. They are led by Hakeem Nicks, arguably the best wide receiver in the ACC. He caught 74 passes for 958 yards and five touchdowns last season. Similar to Josh Morgan in build, he has a good combination of all the skills necessary to be a great wideout: hands, speed, moves, and route running. (Tech Sideline)
