Greg Little wants to be Tar Heels' next 1,000-yard rusher

Posted Aug 7, 2008

Early August's heat and humidity can be draining at North Carolina's football practice fields, but Greg Little still moves with purpose and determination each day. He has firmly set his sights on his sophomore season, and what he can do for his team and his career. "I want to be a 1,000-yard back," Little said. "I know I want to be the best running back in the nation and that's what I'm setting my sights for." (Winston-Salem Journal)
