Former North Carolina and Charlotte Catholic running back Elijah Hood was all smiles Thursday when he met with the media at the NFL scouting combine.
But Hood’s mood did not necessarily mesh with how he described his running style.
“The way I run the football is angry,” Hood said. “I bring a power element.”
Hood, who checked in at 6-feet tall and 232 pounds at the combine, powered his way to 2,580 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns in three seasons at UNC. Both numbers rank in the top 10 in school history.
It looked like Hood would have a chance to add to those totals when he announced in December he would return to Chapel Hill for his senior season.
