Imagining an NFL team with only NC ties

Posted Jan 18, 2017
What if we could construct an NFL team made entirely of players from North Carolina high schools or colleges? DT: Sylvester Williams/Broncos/UNC - Williams started all 16 games for the Broncos, with 29 tackles and 1 sack; LB: Zach Brown, Bills/UNC - Brown was a tackling machine for the Bills - his 149 tackles ranked second in the NFL this season.
