E.J. Wilson confident of his chances in NFL Draft

Posted Apr 21, 2010
E.J. Wilson never thought about playing in the NFL when he was growing up in Emporia, Va., or even after his football career took off in high school. Now, after four seasons at North Carolina and 33 consecutive starts, he has a different outlook. "My dream was to play college football," Wilson said. "Once I got here and started a couple of years, I realized that I had a chance to play on the next level. "Right now, this is a new dream for me." (Winston-Salem Journal)
