Who Tar Heels fans should root for in the NFL Playoffs

Posted Jan 5, 2017
The Green Bay Packers employ probably the NFL’s most prominent Tar Heel, Julius Peppers. He’s still rushing the passer effectively, accruing 7.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles on the year. The only thing missing from his resume is a Super Bowl ring before he likely becomes UNC’s third Pro Football Hall of Famer. The Packers host the New York Giants on Sunday. (Tar Heel Blog)
