UNC football’s JJ Jones says Tar Heels to play with ‘chip’ on their shoulders

Posted Aug 2, 2024
"I think we’re a very underrated group," UNC wide receiver J.J. Jones said recently. "I know we have a lot of key guys who left for the (NFL) draft this year, but we’ve got a lot of young guys and transfers that are going to make an impact right away. I feel like there's a chip on our shoulder being (picked) eighth (in the ACC preseason poll). There’s no pressure." (AOL.com)
