M.J. Stewart plans to make the most of his return

Posted Sep 2, 2017
UNC cornerback M.J. Stewart currently projected to be a first- or second-day selection in the 2018 NFL Draft – one year after he could have easily left UNC early and been picked in this past April's Draft. But Stewart's never been one to take the simplest option. Stewart's father always had M.J. play up an age division, hoping it would eventually make him more resilient. (GoHeels.com)
