Tar Heels wait on two-sport standout

Posted Aug 9, 2009
North Carolina football coach Butch Davis no longer coaches in the NFL, but he’s not immune to some of the same problems as the pros. "If you’ve read the papers that last couple of days, you know that most NFL teams don’t have their first- round draft choices in camp, neither do we,’ Davis said. Davis, who spent four seasons coaching the Cleveland Browns, is referring to incoming freshman quarterback Donavan Tate. (Burlington Times News)
