A big night for three former UNC players as Bruce Carter, Marvin Austin and Greg Little all were taken in the NFL Draft’s second round.
In a bit of a surprise, Carter came off the board before Austin going 40th overall to the Dallas Cowboys. The wait was not too much longer for Austin who will join former teammate Hakeem Nicks in New York after being taken 52nd by the Giants. Cleveland selected Little 59th overall rounding out the evening for UNC picks.
The fourth through seventh rounds continue on Saturday with several Tar Heels including Quan Sturdivant still waiting to hear their name called. Sturdivant was thought to be a 2nd/3rd round choice but at this point will be a nice steal for anyone who takes him.
The NFL Draft resumes at noon today.
