Former UNC football players remember star defensive tackle Donnell Thompson
Posted Sep 25, 2024
Donnell Thompson, a star defensive tackle on UNC's 1980 ACC championship team and 11-year NFL veteran, died Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024. He was 65. Thompson — or “Foots” as he was known to his Tar Heel teammates due to his size-16 shoe — played alongside Lawrence Taylor as part of a fear-striking defensive line that was a linchpin to UNC's success.
