Carolina Panthers draft Hilee Taylor

Posted Apr 28, 2008

Hilee Taylor’s transition from college to professional football will require a slight change in team colors, but he won’t need to relocate to another state. Taylor, a resident of Laurinburg and graduate of Scotland High School, went from one Carolina to another Sunday when the North Carolina Tar Heels defensive end was taken by the Carolina Panthers as an outside linebacker in the 2008 NFL Draft.
