Elijah Hood says he’ll run angry in NFL after early exit from UNC
Posted Mar 2, 2017
Former UNC running back Elijah Hood was all smiles Thursday when he met with the media at the NFL scouting combine. But Hood’s mood did not mesh with how he described his running style. “The way I run the football is angry,” Hood said. Hood, who checked in at 6-feet, 232 pounds, powered his way to 2,580 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns in three seasons at UNC.
