North Carolina looks to extend state's long NFL Draft history
Posted Apr 24, 2017
The Tar Heels are the only team in the state of North Carolina to have had a player drafted by every NFL team. Assuming Mitch Trubisky is drafted at some point, he will be the seventh Tar Heel quarterback selected. There’s a chance he’ll be taken first overall. Overall, North Carolina schools have produced 53 first-round picks. UNC has the most, with 23.
