You don't give up anything from a strength and stature standpoint with the individual moves and you get a faster player at the new position. That's what and did in the spring of 1995 with a Tar Heel defense coming off 40- and 35-point blemishes in the final two games of the 1994 season (a win over Duke and a loss to Texas in the Sun Bowl.)
