Bryn Renner's Career Comes To An Unfortunate End

Bryn Renner's Tarheel career came to an unfortunate end on a scramble in the Third Quarter. He slid feet first and took a shot from an NC State player to his left shoulder that broke a bone and tore the labrum. I am biased but I thought it was a cheap shot. With all of the player ejections I have seen over the past three weeks for "targeting", I guess it is okay to target a players shoulder while he is laying on the ground as long as you don't target his head. I thought a sliding player was supposed to be protected anyway. The 15 extra yards wouldn't have mattered anyway. Renner came back into the game for one more play and completed a third down pass for a first down. If he would have played his final four games at UNC, Renner more than likely would have held every major passing record at North Carolina. His Senior season didn't quite go as planned as far as victories go but he faced adversity throughout his career and he faced the news that his CVarolina career was over with his usual class and looking forward mentality. No one knows if a pro career is in his future but I am sure he will be invited to a training camp if he is not drafted in the later rounds. He should also garner an invite to the pro combine before the draft as well.
