Posted Aug 17, 2010
Cam Thomas, E.J. Wilson, Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn - all four could become fixtures on NFL rosters, and they anchored one of the nation's best defenses in 2009. But Wilson and Thomas are gone, and while Carolina has plenty of talent on its defensive line, it won't be easy to replace their production. They take with them 50 of the unit's 161 solo tackles and five of the 14 forced fumbles. (Tar Heel Blue)
