The former Cowboys tight end — who recently retired — and noted good guy isn’t a bad role model to follow for young NFL up-and-comers. If early NFL Draft projections are correct Fritts, a fifth-year senior tight end at North Carolina, should have a shot in the league, but there’s a bit of a twist. (News-Herald)
