Light Draft For Heels?
Posted May 1, 2015
If you go to Drafttek.com and look up ACC prospects for Thursday night's NFL draft, you must scroll down 57 slots before finding a North Carolina Tar Heel. Norkeithus Otis, who's listed as a 6-foot-1, 235-pound outside linebacker, is the first UNC player listed. He's regarded the 34th best outside linebacker prospect in the draft, too, so don't expect to hear Otis' name probably until Saturday, if at all.
