Why on earth would we want a wake forest player on an NFL roster?

go Heels! 

There are more current Wake players than UNC in the NFL top 100. There’s also more players on that list from football factories like Southern Methodist, Florida Atlantic, Minnesota State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Arkansas State, Samford than UNC. But great win against Duke last week!!

NFL top 100 - wtf is this? One of those stupid off season programs nobody watches? I can’t think of a wake SNORE-est player in the NFL.

He doesn’t have range over 50 and can’t get kickoffs to the end zone. He’s probably not an NFL kicker unless he can increase his range pretty significantly unfortunately. At minimum you would need a punter who can double as kickoff specialist and you’d have to be ok with never kicking over 50 yard FGs

He has the third highest number of touchbacks in the ACC this year.  He is not the best at it, but he certainly can get them into the end zone and does it more often than not.

Voted on by the players, so it sounds like they might have a bit of insight. 
 

The most notable current player in the NFL that went to UNC is the trivia answer to “What QB will forever be known as the guy the Bears massively reached on ahead of Future Hall of Famer Patrick Mahomes”?

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
