UNC's Yates 'trying to be perfect'

Posted Mar 31, 2009
North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates has rebuilt his game from the ground up -- literally. Yates, of Marietta, Ga., wasn't a highly recruited quarterback -- he caught the attention of UNC coaches while they were in Georgia to watch a player on the opposing team -- but he could be one of the most accurate passers in the ACC in 2009. Yates had been leading the ACC and ranked 12th nationally in passing efficiency before he injured his ankle. (ESPN.com)
