UNC's Top 30 Football Players Ever: No. 1 Charlie Justice

Posted Jun 1, 2016
Charlie Justice was the only two-time runner-up for the Heisman Trophy until Arkansas’ Darren McFadden fell short twice a decade ago. Justice was UNC’s all-time total yardage leader (1946-49) until the early 1990s and did everything for the Tar Heels. He ran, passed and even punted for UNC, helping lead the program to its best four-year stretch ever. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
