Ryan Switzer ready to adapt to whatever NFL needs

Posted Apr 27, 2017
Ryan Switzer caught 244 passes at UNC, a school record. But the best thing he ever received was a life-changing piece of advice from his high school football coach. "I had my mind focused on just being a running back," Switzer said. "And I remember him telling me, in this world, the more you can do, the more you'll be valued, and I eventually found out what that meant." (WRAL Sports Fan)
