Nazair Jones overcomes odds to star for North Carolina on defense
Posted Dec 30, 2016
North Carolina junior defensive tackle, Nazair Jones stands at 6'5, 300 lbs. However, Jones feels fortunate to be standing at all. On his 16th birthday, Jones was paralyzed from the waste down due to complex regional pain syndrome. "You know I fought back. I had to learn how to walk again," said Jones.
