Two ACC Programs accomplish rare draft feat

The ACC has always had PR problem.

Usually missing opportunities to promote the league, but they actually got a moment to promote right. Miami and Duke had the number 1 NFL and number 1 NBA draft picks. Those are tremendous accomplishments for both schools and something to tout for the ACC. It’s certainly something every ACC school can use in recruiting.
