Could Mitch Trubisky be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft?

Posted Apr 26, 2017
No Tar Heel football player has ever been selected No. 1 overall and though it looks as if Mitch Trubisky won't be the top pick either, there's still technically a chance. It's amazing to consider, given his Carolina career: Four seasons in Chapel Hill, just one of them as a starter. It's not the typical road, but Trubisky says it's a road that has prepared him for the pros. (ABC 11)
