Carolina Football had three of its legendary players - Lawrence Taylor, Julius Peppers and Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice - selected to the list of ESPN's 150 Greatest Players in the history of College Football.

Taylor spent his first two injury-plagued seasons at North Carolina playing inside linebacker and nose guard. After the UNC coaches moved him to outside linebacker before his junior season, Taylor dominated the opposition like few players before or after him.
