Larry Fedora Live: M.J. Stewart Stepping Up at Punt Returner

UNC has been forced to lean on M.J. Stewart more than expected after a tumultuous first half of the season. When wide receiver Austin Proehl broke his clavicle against Duke in September, it meant that the Tar Heels were without their top pass catcher and punt returner. Stewart stepped up to the challenge on special teams, taking over punt returning duties due to the injury. (Inside Carolina)
