Shakeel Rashad talks linebackers, defense
Posted Mar 27, 2015
CarolinaBlue spoke with UNC senior linebacker Shakeel Rashad after practice this week about the new defense and defensive coaching staff: "I've loved it so far. That's not to say I disliked the coaches last year but the new coaches, new defense, new position for me, I've loved everything about it." Where are you in the defense? "Outside linebacker. In some of the stuff I'm with the ones and then in our nickel package I'm a two."
