Tonight, North Carolina running back Javonte Williams was selected in the second round by the Denver Broncos. He is the first Tar Heel to be drafted out of a handful of names that we expect to hear called tonight and tomorrow.
During his junior season with the Tar Heels, Williams carried the ball 157 times for 1,140 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground, and caught 25 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns. Though he split duties with another running back in this draft, Michael Carter, he was arguably the most dominant of the duo purely because of his aggressive play.
