NFL Draft Notes: Butch Davis' recruiting mojo

Posted Apr 26, 2013
Perhaps the most amazing thing that I heard Thursday night came from NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock, who relayed something that Butch Davis told him. On the heels of Jonathan Cooper going No. 7 overall, Mayock pointed out that the Tar Heel guard was the 33rd first-rounder that Davis had recruited during his 10 years as a college head coach. That number would swell to 34 when DT Sly Williams was picked later in the first round. (CBS Sports)
