UNC rusher Bernard ready for draft-day closeup
ATLANTA Growing up in the sports-mad area of south Florida, Giovani Bernard had seemingly attempted every athletic task a vibrant, indefatigable American male could experience.
To his best recollection, though, Bernard had never been asked to do a standing broad jump prior to his preparations for last month's NFL Combine, the annual league event where scouts and coaches test...

UNC RB Giovani Bernard to turn pro
With respect to Mr. Football in College Station, Texas, Giovani Bernard would have provided considerable competition for the Heisman Trophy next season if he hadnt opted to leave North Carolina for the NFL.
Bernard is that good.
But the 5-foot-10, 205-pound tailback wont get the chance to beat out Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel now that he has entered his name in the 2013 NFL...

UNC Football: The farewell tour for Bernard?
After North Carolina beat N.C. State last week with what I call “The Return” by red shirt sophomore Giovani Bernard I doubt that there should be any excuse not to go see UNC football in their last few games. But, if you still need something to get you to Kenan Stadium, the beautiful facility that the Tar Heels call home, here it is… get to the games versus Georgia Tech (11...
Tar Heels' Bernard deserving of recognition
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- Giovani Bernard isnt going to win the Heisman Trophy in December, but finding a better and more thrilling player anywhere in the nation might be akin to that whole needle-in-a-haystack deal.
Bernard is that good, and hes that underrated.
Look no further than North Carolinas 43-35 victory over NC State on Saturday in which Bernard raced 74 yards into the end...

Giovani Bernard Is The Most Exciting Player In College Football, A Game For The Ages Against NC State
Giovani Bernard has to be the most exciting player
in college football.
The North Carolina running back leads the ACC in
rushing and today in Chapel Hill, NC returned a punt that Tar Heel fans will
talk about for years to come.
Bernard fielded a NC State punt and took it the
distance 74 yards with 13 seconds left to lift North Carolina past their arch
rivals 43-35 ending...
UNC Football: The best play might not have been the best thing
Let me say the following before I write this post. First off Saturday night in Durham the team that deserved the win was Duke, not North Carolina. Second of all, if the UNC football team stayed in the game it was in great part thanks to their red shirt sophomore tail back, Giovani Bernard, who is now the leading rusher in the ACC and 19th nationally. And it was thanks to his great...
UNC Football: Could the Heels win the Coastal?
When you think of this season’s UNC Football squad there is plenty of good points to consider. And, of course, some points that are not as good… penalties come to mind right away. But in the end, when you stack things the positives far outweigh the negatives, which is great for both the program and for first year head coach Larry Fedora. Carolina (5 and 2 ~ 2-1 in the ACC) is...
North Carolina Football: A plea to the fan base
Yesterday in Chapel Hill began the Fedora era for the North Carolina football program. It began with a 62 to nothing shut out of FCS foe Elon. It began with some excellent play by the team, led by star running back Giovani Bernard, who scored in everyway he could, through the ground, through the air and even on a punt return, and quarterback Bryn Renner, who hit fourteen different...
