NFL Draft 2013
The 2012 North Carolina Tarheels are faring pretty well in this years NFL Draft. Offensive Lineman Jonathan Cooper went #7 to the Arizona Cardinals, Defensive Tackle Sylvester Williams went #28 to the Denver Broncos which I think is a real steal, and Running Back Gio Bernard went in the Second Round, #37 overall to the Cincinnati Bengals and also the first Running Back taken in this years draft. Offensive Lineman Brennan Williams went later on in the Third Round to the Houston Texans. I believe the Cincinnati Bengals also got a steal in Gio Bernard and his real value lies in his versatility. His ability to return kicks and punts, catching the ball out of the backfield, and his patience in running the ball make him a natural third down specialist coming out of the backfield. He is also the most natural punt returner I have ever seen especially since he only did it for one season in college. I cannot wait to see what he can do in professional football.
