No North Carolina football player has ever carried the distinction of being a No. 1 overall pick. Four UNC players have been drafted No. 2 overall — the last two were Julius Peppers of the Panthers in 2001, and Lawrence Taylor of the Giants in 1981. Regardless, the city of Chapel Hill is behind Mitchell Trubisky, its newly adopted football hero. (The News-Herald)
