Breaking news

For the uninitiated, he was a Charlotte Catholic legend at running back that was coached by everyone's favorite WFNZ host Frank Garcia. Went to UNC and was drafted by the Raiders.

UNC's biggest recruiting pitch should be the guaranteed future contract with a Charlotte pro team

camp body? I don't get to see too much UNC football (am stuck in SEC country) so what do ya'll think of this move? Does he have a chance of unseating CAP, or is that not his "style" of running?

Someone here called it yesterday and even made a thread.

I see zero reason why he can't compete with Fozzy or CAP.

Who was that?

This is a fantastic move. I wrote about this in the other thread but Hood has a ton of talent. He was off and on hurt at UNC which really seemed to hurt his draft stock, further he came out in a loaded RB class when he really could have used an extra season in school. 

Throw in the fact that this guy is PS eligible and sign me up, his upside is that he could be our back of the future next to CMC.

A seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft, Hood spent most of his rookie year on the Raiders' practice squad. He did dress for one game but only played eight special teams snaps in a Week 8 loss at Buffalo.

He's a talented bruising runner who had injury issues in college.  Could definitely be a threat to CAP.

More than that.

Easily could outcompete Fozzy; toe to toe with CAP
