The 5 college teams hurt most by early departures
Posted Jan 20, 2017
The Tar Heels lose three underclassmen, and each of them important to the team. Defensive tackle Nazair Jones was the team’s most disruptive run defender. Running back Elijah Hood averaged 3.8 yards after contact, and forced one missed tackle for every 3.21 touches, an impressive rate. The biggest loss is unquestionably quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
