2012 NFL draft: Zach Brown LB North Carolina
Coming into the 2011 season North Carolina linebacker, Zach Brown, was a third-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. But after the dominant season Brown has had for the Tar Heels it is possible he may have just played his way into a first-round pick.

ROLL BOUNCE
Most insane INT you'll see this bowl season
During the Independence Bowl, an insane catch was made by a Mizzou Tiger Cornerback. The ball actually landed on the back of the UNC Tarheel Wide Receiver and stayed there motionless until another Tiger player was able to snag it. I challenge you to find a better interception than that.
