Three More Heels Crash the NFL Party

Posted Apr 27, 2009
UNC added three more players to its long list of Tar Heels in the professional ranks, as wide receiver Brandon Tate, offensive tackle Garrett Reynolds and wide receiver Brooks Foster were taken on day two of the 2009 NFL Draft. When New England head coach Bill Belichick called Tate shortly before the Patriots made their selection official, the senior withheld the news from his family at his home in Burlington, N.C. so that “they could enjoy the moment.” (Inside Carolina)
