Is Mitchell Trubisky a one-year wonder? UNC teammates say that's an 'unfair' label

Among the dings to Mitchell Trubisky's draft profile is that he only started one year at North Carolina, leaving him without the usual experience found in first-round quarterbacks.

Trubisky was outstanding in that one year, though, completing 68 percent of his passes for 3,748 yards with 30 touchdowns and six interceptions. But despite that eventual success, Trubisky in his first two years on campus wasn't able to beat out Marquise Williams for the Tarheels' starting gig.

In asking some of Trubisky's former teammates why the potential first-round pick didn't start sooner, the answers were clear: It wasn't his fault.
