2007 ACC Football Season Preview: North Carolina

Posted Aug 14, 2007

North Carolina was a struggling program under John Bunting, and they will struggle again in 2007. There is a major lack of talent in the program. UNC had no players drafted by the NFL in 2007, and just one in 2006. Over the past three drafts, they have had just four selections, and they have not had a player selected on the first day of the draft since 2002, when Julius Peppers and Ryan Sims were taken in the first round.
