The consensus seems to be that converted safety Shaun Draughn did the most to boost his stock this August. "He stepped it up big and took his chance and exploited it big," UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said. "He's impressed the coaches with how hard and how fast he runs." Added linebacker Chase Rice, "He's been unreal. He's been doing cuts that most people shouldn't be able to do."
