K.J. Sails' actions stem from his love of the game

Posted Oct 23, 2017
On Saturday, K.J. Sails became a hot topic. As North Carolina’s 59-7 loss to Virginia Tech came to an end, fans took to Twitter and voiced their frustrations with the sophomore cornerback. He had jawed with Virginia Tech’s wide receivers all game, and he had demonstratively celebrated everything positive the UNC defense did. Some chided Sails for celebrating. (Daily Tar Heel)
