That's why during the University of North Carolina's pro day this past spring many college scouts like the Panthers Khary Darlington left feeling like then senior defensive end Hilee Taylor could walk on water to get to the quarterback. "Everybody we talked to from secretaries to the head coach had nothing but positive things to say about the guy," Darlington said. (Panthers.com)
