NFL draft a big deal for Cam Thomas

Posted Apr 5, 2010
You'd think it would be impossible for Cam Thomas to get lost in the background. At 6 feet 4 and 325 pounds, Thomas' size tends to give him away. But at UNC, on a defense with four first-team All-ACC selections and twice as many NFL prospects, there was a tendency for Thomas to get lost in the shuffle. Thomas will get his moment to shine later this month at the NFL draft. (Raleigh News & Observer)
